Refractive indexof water

For example, if we are using a 40X objective with a 0.5X adapter, the camera sensor is 1/2” and the screen size is 14”, our calculations would be:

(1) The objective’s magnification. (2) The adapter’s magnification. (3) The diagonal measurement of the screen (in millimetres). (4) The size of the camera sensor (in millimetres).

Our Moticam A Series cameras are designed with microscopy beginners, teaching environments, hobbyists, and small labs in mind.

The data for point (3), the diagonal measurement of the screen, is also easy to find out. Generally, manufacturers indicate the size of the screen in inches. We have to convert this measurement in millimetres. To do this, we have to multiply it by 25.4 and we will obtain our result. In case we do not know the size of the screen, we will need to measure it with a ruler or with measuring tape.

To obtain the data for point (4), we have to refer to the following table (5), because the real size of the sensor that is used for capturing the image differs a little bit from the size of the chip itself.

One of the most frequently asked questions about digital imaging is: What is the total magnification showed on the screen?
