Angular magnification is the ratio of the angle subtended by an object at the eye when viewed through a microscope to the angle subtended by the same object when viewed with the naked eye.
Angular magnification is calculated by dividing the apparent size of an object when viewed through a microscope by its actual size.
The eyepiece of a microscope is responsible for providing the angular magnification. It magnifies the image formed by the objective lens and allows for a larger angle to be subtended at the eye.
Yes, the angular magnification on a microscope can be changed by adjusting the eyepiece or by switching to a different objective lens with a different magnification power.
Angular magnification does not directly affect the resolution of a microscope. However, a higher magnification can provide a clearer and more detailed image, allowing for better visualization of smaller objects.
