This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.

If an object under view is 10 nm in length without any magnification, what will be its viewing size at 40x?
The objects size would be 400nm.
at 2000x?
80,000nm
What is the equivalent size at these magnifications, in inches? Show your calculations.

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) employs electron bombardment to image very small specimens. Electron microscopes are used to image specimens that range from 1 nm to 100 µm in size. What is the equivalent in inches? .000000039in to .000003937 in . Show your calculations.
1nm=.000000039in, 100nm *.000000039=.000003937in
Procedure
1. Parts of the Compound Light Microscope: Refer to a microscope as this section is read. Label the microscope diagram that follows as the examination of the microscope proceeds.
a. Eyepiece (Ocular Lens): The magnification power is stamped on the outside of the lens.
What is the power of the ocular lens? Microscopes may have interchangeable ocular lenses of different
