Power is the measure of the ability of a microscope to magnify or enlarge an image. It is really a short way of saying “magnifying power.” A microscope with 300X power for example, (pronounced “300 times”), means that the microscope can magnify the view of a sample so that it appears 300 times larger than the way it appears with the unaided eye.
