Which objectives are dry lenses?
Dry Objectives These are objectives that use only air in between the objective front lens and the specimen cover glass and are not meant to be immersed in specialized immersion oils or liquids. The maximum theoretical numerical aperture obtainable with air as a medium is 1.0.
What is a dry objective?
use in compound microscopes In microscope: Optics. A dry objective is one that works with the air between the specimen and the objective lens. An immersion objective requires a liquid, usually a transparent oil of the same R.I.
What color is the high power objective?
Table of Objective Lens Band Colors on a Microscope

|---|---|---|
| Green | 16x – 20x | |
| Turquoise | 25x – 32x | |
| Light Blue | 40x – 50x | High Power |

What is the magnification of the high power objective lens?
40X
The high-power objective lens (H) has a magnification of 40X. Draw orange stripes on the high-power objective. The body tube (C) allows the light from the objective to pass upward to form the first magnified image; that image is further magnified by the eyepiece or ocular (A). The eyepiece is usually 10X.
How do you use 100x objective lenses?
Place a drop of immersion oil on the top of your cover slip and another drop directly on your 100x oil objective lens. Slowly rotate your 100x oil objective lens into place and adjust the fine focus until you get a crisp and clear image.
Which objective lens will deliver the highest amount of light?
The 4x objective lens has the lowest power and, therefore the highest field of view.
What is a high power objective lens?
The high-powered objective lens (also called “high dry” lens) is ideal for observing fine details within a specimen sample. The total magnification of a high-power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece is equal to 400x magnification, giving you a very detailed picture of the specimen in your slide.
What is the objective lens do?
Objective Lenses – The objective lens gathers light from the specimen, magnifies the image of the specimen, and projects the magnified image into the body tube.
