Question

from figure 1.6 in your lab manual p. 16: a. what is the relationship between the objective lens magnification and the working distance? as magnification increases the working distance decreases. as magnification increases the working distance increases. as magnification decreases the working distance decreases.

Explanation:

In microscopy, higher - power (higher magnification) objective lenses are physically longer and have a smaller working distance (the distance between the front of the lens and the specimen). So, as the magnification of the objective lens increases, the working distance decreases.

Answer:

As magnification increases the working distance decreases.
