1. If a microscope has ocular lenses with 20X magnification,what objective magnification is necessary to give a totalmagnification of 800X?
2. Based on your calculations, if the distance between cells is0.3 μm, would you be able to see them as separate cells with eachobjective lens on the compound microscope? Explain.
3. Most viruses are 50-100 nm in size.f
a. Would you be able to see viruses within this size range withthe compound microscope? Convert the size of the virus fromnanometers to micrometers, and then use this value to answer thequestion.
b. If a coccus-shaped bacterium has a 10 μm diameter and thelimitation of human eyesight is 0.1 mm, how much magnificationwould be required to be able to see this bacterium? Can your labmicroscope provide this magnification? Explain.
