How to check the degree of the microscope

A microscope is an instrument used to magnify small objects, and its degree usually refers to the magnification. When using a microscope, you can check the magnification in the following ways.

1. Direct view: magnification is usually marked on the microscope, which can be viewed directly. The magnification can be determined by looking at the magnification marked on the microscope.

2. Calculation: The magnification of the microscope can be calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens. An eyepiece is a lens at the top of a microscope that magnifies the image of an object. The objective lens is the lens at the bottom of the microscope that magnifies the object itself. The total magnification of the microscope is obtained by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece with the magnification of the objective lens.

As an example, if the eyepiece magnification of the microscope is 10x and the objective magnification is 40x, then the magnification of the microscope is 10x 40x = 400x.

It is important to note that the larger the magnification, the more detail the object will be seen. However, the larger the magnification, the smaller the field of view. Therefore, when using a microscope, it is necessary to choose the appropriate magnification according to the actual needs.
