Question

if a compound mircoscope has an eyepiece lens of x20 and the objective of x10 what would the total magnification be?

Answer 1

Hey.

Eyepiece Lens's power = 20X

Objective Lens's power = 10X

Magnification of a compound lens

= Product of objective and eyepiece

= 20X × 10X = 200X

So, it will show image 200X larger .

Thanks.
