Image result for Microscopes are important because they allow scientists to study microorganisms, cells, crystalline structures and molecular structures. Microscopes are one of the most important diagnostic tools when doctors examine tissue samples. Electron microscopes help create the very tiny electrical circuits found on silicon microchips. Scanning microscopes are much more sophisticated, and have higher magnifications, than light-refracting microscopesImage result for olestra molecular structures

The reason microscopes are useful when you study cells in biology is because microscopes allow scientist to look at cell structures and molecular structures.  microscopes enlarge small  cells on a silicon chip and allows you to see what is on the slide through lenses. Doctors use microscopes as well so they can look at blood cells and tissue so they can make a correct diagnosis.

 

calculating total magnification

how to calculate total magnification is not as hard as you may think. to calculate the magnification is that you take the lens power, usually 4x, 10x, 40x, and simply multiply the power of the eyepiece which is normally 10x.
