Answer 1

Thanks for the question!

It is definitely a very interesting question to solve and do some brainstorming.

**************************************************
There are several advantages of the low-power objective over the oil immersion objective for viewing fungi or algae because the low power objective gives a magnified image with a clear vision to view larger cells of fungi and algae as compared to that of a bacteria which can be easily viewed under a high power objective owing to its microscopic structure.

Answer 2

The low power objective gives a clear and a robust image of the fungi or algae whereas looking into the oil immersion objective it has a blurry image with a tendency to give inaccurate information about the displacement of the cells. So higher the objective power more easily the identification goes.
