Question

To see a general view of a microscope slide, use _____ power. If you need to see a more specific and detailed view, use _____ power.



low; high
high; low

Answer 1

@darlaboatner02 low power means less magnification and high power means more magnification. For detailed vs. general view: Think of your own vision. If you are in an art gallery looking at a wall with 10 paintings what you would see if you were

a) standing across the room looking at the wall with paintings
b) less than 1 foot away from one of the paintings.

A is conceptually the same as "low power" and B is conceptually the same as "high power".
