The total magnification of a microscope can be calculated using the following equation:
total magnification= magnification of the lens in the eyepiece/ocular lens (usually 10x) multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens, which is rotated underneath and can have varying values. 

Calculating Magnification

Enlarges an image of an object by a factor of a certain number. For example: 10x means the object appears to be 10 times larger.

Convex lenses are used to magnify images; Concave lenses redirect light.

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

Resolution is how clear an image appears. It is impacted by wavelength of light and a lens’s capability of collecting light.
