Question 1 (1 point) You're looking at a slide and making a sketch at a total magnification of 100X. The lenses in place are: objective lens \( (10 x) \) and condenser lens (10x) ocular lens (10x) and condenser lens (10x) ocular lens (10x) and objective lens (10x) ocular lens ( 1 x ) and objective lens (100x) Previous Page Next Page 1 of 9

Did you know that the concept of magnification dates back to the invention of the microscope in the late 16th century? Pioneering scientists like Antonie van Leeuwenhoek took this technology to new heights, allowing us to observe microscopic life for the first time. The use of multiple lenses has transformed the way we study biology and materials, making it possible to see structures invisible to the naked eye! In real-world applications, microscopy is crucial in fields ranging from biology to material science. For instance, in medicine, pathologists rely on high-quality microscopes to examine tissues and confirm diagnoses. Understanding how to correctly set up and adjust magnification not only enhances your observations but also reinforces the importance of accurate measurements in scientific research. So next time you look through a microscope, remember you’re part of a rich tradition of exploration!
