WHY MAGNIFICATION RANGE MATTERS

A wider range means fewer "I can't see it" moments.

Low power (40X–100X) is for orientation — finding the right spot on a slide before zooming in.

Mid power (400X) is where most classroom biology happens — nuclei, chloroplasts, single-celled organisms.

Oil immersion (1000X) is for serious detail — bacteria, fine organelle structure, and most college lab requirements.
