Resolving power or resolution: the ability to distinguish objects that are close together.  The better the resolving power of the microscope, the closer together two objects can be and still be seen as separate.

Total magnification: In a compound microscope the total magnification is the product of the objective and ocular lenses (see figure below).  The magnification of the ocular lenses on your scope is 10X.

You want to set a competitive price for your used car – pricing too high means buyers may scroll right by. Pricing too low means less money in your pocket. Our Value Range tool is a great resource to make sure that your listing price is set in a competitive range.

You want to know you’re getting a good car and avoid overpaying for it. With our Value Range tool, you get a realistic value of the car you’re considering. Start with the knowledge of what others have paid for similar vehicles.

Our used car value tool is unique because unlike other calculators, it’s based on what others paid for similar vehicles, not just the asking price. Plus, it adjusts for odometer, real-time market fluctuations and location to generate a realistic price range.

Our Value Range tool is a good way to gauge your car’s trade-in value and puts you in the driver’s seat when negotiating with a dealer. Something to keep in mind is that their offer will account for the cost of getting your vehicle ready to re-sell, but you'll also get tax savings towards the vehicle you’re purchasing.

How to useocular lens on a microscope

Immersion Oil:  Clear, finely detailed images are achieved by contrasting the specimen with their medium.  Changing the refractive index of the specimens from their medium attains this contrast.  The refractive index is a measure of the relative velocity at which light passes through a material.  When light rays pass through the two materials (specimen and medium) that have different refractive indices, the rays change direction from a straight path by bending (refracting) at the boundary between the specimen and the medium.  Thus, this increases the image’s contrast between the specimen and the medium.

Parfocal: the objective lenses are mounted on the microscope so that they can be interchanged without having to appreciably vary the focus.

One way to change the refractive index is by staining the specimen.  Another is to use immersion oil.  While we want light to refract differently between the specimen and the medium, we do not want to lose any light rays, as this would decrease the resolution of the image.  By placing immersion oil between the glass slide and the oil immersion lens (100X), the light rays at the highest magnification can be retained.  Immersion oil has the same refractive index as glass so the oil becomes part of the optics of the microscope.  Without the oil the light rays are refracted as they enter the air between the slide and the lens and the objective lens would have to be increased in diameter in order to capture them.  Using oil has the same effect as increasing the objective diameter therefore improving the resolving power of the lens.
