Determining the magnification of a microscope

Principle

Although this experiment can be performed directly following an experiment on the construction and mode of operation of a microscope, it is recommended that it be performed separately; otherwise students might feel overly challanged.

Benefits

Multifunctional light box - All-in-one: Can be used for geometric optics on the table, colour mixing and on an optical bench
Extension with others sets at anytime, no additional light sources needed, recognition value for students

Tasks

How can the magnification of a microscope be determined? Construct a model of a microscope and determine its achievable magnification.
