What's the number of stage micrometer units in 10 ocular units using 4x, 10x, and 43x objectives ?
To determine the number of stage micrometer units in 10 ocular units using different objectives, we need to consider the magnification power of each objective. The magnification power affects the ratio between the units measured on the ocular scale and the stage micrometer scale.
First, let's break down the calculation for each objective:
1. 4x objective:
- The magnification power of the 4x objective is 4.
- Assuming the ocular units are the same as the stage micrometer units, if you move 1 ocular unit, the stage micrometer scale also moves 1 unit.
- Therefore, with the 4x objective, there are 4 stage micrometer units in 1 ocular unit.
2. 10x objective:
- The magnification power of the 10x objective is 10.
- Similarly, with the 10x objective, there are 10 stage micrometer units in 1 ocular unit.
3. 43x objective:
- The magnification power of the 43x objective is 43.
- Again, with the 43x objective, there are 43 stage micrometer units in 1 ocular unit.
To find the number of stage micrometer units in 10 ocular units for each objective, we multiply the magnification power of the objective by 10, as we are considering 10 ocular units. Here are the calculations:
1. For the 4x objective: 4 (magnification power) × 10 (ocular units) = 40 stage micrometer units.
2. For the 10x objective: 10 (magnification power) × 10 (ocular units) = 100 stage micrometer units.
3. For the 43x objective: 43 (magnification power) × 10 (ocular units) = 430 stage micrometer units.
Therefore, using a 4x objective, there are 40 stage micrometer units, using a 10x objective, there are 100 stage micrometer units, and using a 43x objective, there are 430 stage micrometer units in 10 ocular units.
