The Microscope: the Compound Light Microscope

The video tutorial explains the importance of light in compound microscopes and how magnification works. It describes the structure of lenses and how they bend light to magnify objects. The tutorial also covers the process of calculating total magnification by multiplying the magnification of individual lenses, using an example to illustrate the concept.

If the magnification of the lower lens is 40 and the upper lens is 10, what is the total magnification?

What does a total magnification of 400 mean in terms of the size of bacteria?
