Step 1
We can find this by multiplying the focal length of the lens by the magnification. For our example, the focal length is 100mm and the magnification is 100x. Show more…

Oil Immersion 10X Condenser Lens N/A 10X N/A 1.25 With what you know concerning how a microscope produces an image, imagine you are viewing this letter ‘’e’’ slide under low power magnification. Follow the instructions given in the table below and sketch your hypothetical observations and answer the prompts. Appearance of the ‘’e’’ with the Naked Eye Appearance of the ‘’e’’ Under the Microscope When the stage moves to the right, the image moves to the... When the stage moves toward you, the image moves... 4) ‘’a’’ and ‘’b’’ below are questions five (5) and seven (7) respectively, from your lab manual: a. On a given microscope, the numerical apertures of the condenser and low power objective lenses are 1.25 and 0.25 respectively. You are supplied with a filter that selects a wavelength of 520 nm. i. What is the limit of resolution of this microscope? Show your work.

c) Explain the Abbe theory of image formation in a microscope using the figure below, indicate the aperture angle ̑. Define the numerical aperture for an objective lens in a microscope. objective lens specimen focal plane image (i) Estimate the maximum spatial frequency that is resolvable by an oil immersion objective lens which has an acceptance cone of 134 deg and uses an immersion oil of refractive index n = 1.515. Estimate the size of the smallest object that is resolvable with the microscope and find the maximum useful magnification required for the human eye to see this object. Assume that the wavelength of light is λ= 0.55 μm.
