The numerical aperture of a microscope objective defines the objective's resolution. Each microscope objective has a minimum and maximum magnification necessary for the details in an image to be resolved. A simple formula for the minimum value is (500 x NA).

The shortest lens is the lowest power, the longest one is the lens with the greatest power. Lenses are color coded and if built to DIN standards are interchangeable between microscopes. The high power objective lenses are retractable (i.e. 40XR).
