1. What is the total magnification of a light microscope when using a 25X ocular and 40X objective lens? 2. Give a few reasons why living organisms may not be observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Added by Carla G.
Step 1
The total magnification of a light microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by the magnification of the objective lens. So, if you are using a 25X ocular and a 40X objective lens, the total magnification would be 25X * 40X = Show more…
