What is the equation for total magnification
Total magnification = eye piece x objective lens
Define magnification
The degree to which the size of an image is larger than the object itself
units: X
(MAKING SOMETHING BIGGER DOESN’T MAKE THE RESOLUTION GREAT)
Define resolution
the ability to distinguish between 2 points and these 2 points can be resolved so they appear as 2 different images
Units: nm

What is the equation for magnification
Magnification= Image size/ Actual size
When there is a measurement next to a scale bar is this the image size or actual size
measurement next to the scale bar is the ACTUAL SIZE
if you measure the scale bar with a ruler is this the actual size or image size
If you measure the scale bar with a ruler this is the IMAGE SIZE
