Work out microscope magnification instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Multiplies objective, eyepiece and any camera factor to give total magnification, and flags where empty magnification begins.
Total magnification
Total = objective magnification x eyepiece magnification x camera or tube factor
Magnification beyond the resolving power of the optics: the image gets bigger without revealing more detail.
The numerical aperture and wavelength: resolution is about 0.61 x wavelength / numerical aperture, near 200 nm for visible light.
