Pictures

Paramecium Caudatum

Blue Green Algae

Anopheles Larva

The online picture gives you the better view of

the organism because it is clear and easy to

see. Also, because it is the actual species up

close. The drawings are not the best pictures

because they do not show details or color.

The Better Picture

The paramecium caudatum is magnified at

100x in the drawing. In the online picture, it is

also magnified at 100x.

The blue green algae is magnified at 100x in

the drawing. It is magnified at 100x in the online

picture.

The anopheles larva is magnified at 40x in the

drawing. It is magnified 50x in the online picture.

Magnification

The Microscope

The magnification of the eyepiece lens and

objective lens are multiplied together to give

the total magnification.

The eyepiece lens always has a 10x

magnification.

Microscopes are used to find out more

information about cells and their structures.
