A 6.0mm-diameter microscope objective has a focal length of 9.0mm. What object distance gives a lateral magnification of -40?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The object distance is 4mm.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

We have given that:

Diameter= 6.0mm,

focal length=9.0mm .

We need to find object distance which gives a lateral magnification of -40.

02

Equation.

mobj=40

L=160mm

Object is not close to the focal point Sfobj.

Approximation, lateral magnification is given:

mobj=-1fobj.

03

Calculation

L=160mmrepresent microscope tube length.

Let us find the value of fobj.

fobj=Lmobj

fobj=160mm40

fobj=4mm.

Mordern microscopes are more likely to use a camera than human viewing. This is accomplished by replacing the eyepiece in figure 35.14with a photo-ocular that focuses the image of the objectives to a real image on the sensor of a digital camera. A typical sensor is 22.5mmwide and consists of 56254.0μmwide pixels. suppose a microscopist pairs a 40Xobjectives with a 2.5Xphoto-ocular

a. what is the field of view? That is what width on the microscope stage in mmfills the sensor?

b. The photo of a cell is 120pixelsin a diameter. what is the cell's actual diameter inμm?

A diffraction-limited lens can focus light to a 10μmdiameter spot on a screen. Do the following actions make the spot diameter larger, make it smaller, or leave it unchanged?

A. Decreasing the wavelength of the light.

B. Decreasing the lens diameter.

C. Decreasing the lens focal length.

D. Decreasing the lens-to-screen distance.

A converging lens with a focal length of 40cmand a diverging lens with a focal length of -40cmare 160cmapart. A 2cmtall object is 60cmin front of the converging lens.

a. Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. Do this accurately using a ruler or paper with a grid, then make measurements on your diagram.

b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.

A microscope with a tube length of 180mmachieves a total magnification of 800Xwith a 40Xobjectives and a 20Xeye piece. The microscope is focused for viewing with a related eye. how far is the sample from the objective lens?

A common optical instrument in a laser laboratory is a beam expander. One type of beam expander is shown in FIGURE P 35.29. The parallel rays of a laser beam of width w1 enter from the left.
