3. Combinations of Objectives and Eyepieces

Total magnifying power obtained by the combination is the product of

individual objective power multiplied by individual eyepiece power. A

selection

of the combination

will

be decided so as to get the highest

resolution of the image (resolving power), the largest extent of object

area

(real field) which can be observed without moving the stage or

slide,

or the greatest thickness of object (depth of focus) which can

be

distinctly

seen

without raising or lowering the microscope stage,

depending

upon the purpose of using the microscope. Shown below

are

the results compiled

from

the different combinations of objectives

and

eyepieces:

The working distance is the

clearance

between the upper surface of the

cover

glass

and the lowest edge of the objective critically focused. Note

that, as shown in the above table, the working distance becomes very

small

for

high

power objectives.

The resolution of minimum resolved distance (the limit of resolving power)

is

the minimum distance between object points discernible as separate

under

the microscope illuminated by the

light

of wave length

550myu.

The shorter the

light

wave length, the higher the resolving power, that

is,

the small resolving distance results. In the table, the smaller values

indicate

the resolution obtained by oblique and the larger values by

central

illumination, (see "Illumination" on page 11)

#The

minimum resolved distance in the image is the value in the object

multiplied by the total magnification of the microscope. If the resolving

power of the microscope is important, choose the eyepiece by the use

of which the image resolution comes

within

that of the naked eye

0.15

—0.3mm

(when the object is

seen

from

the distance

25mm);
