Question

the total magnification of a specimen viewed under a compound light microscope is determined by

Answer 1

total magnification of the specimen under a compound light microscope can be calculated by multiplying the objective lens value by the ocular lens value.

for your help

objective lens value- it is value of the power of lens which forms the image of the specimen

ocular lens value-These are the power of  lenses you will look through when examining a specimen with the microscope

Answer 2

The total magnification of a specimen viewed under a compound light microscope is determined by multiplying the power of the objective lens by the power of the ocular lens.

• To demonstrate the total magnification using a compound light microscope, view the image using the microscope under the power of the objective lens.
• The power must be at 4x, 10x or 40x. Now this power is to be multiplied with the power of the ocular lens or the eyepiece which is generally at 10x.
• Therefore, a magnification of 400x is produced with the help of an ocular lens having a power of 10x used along with an objective lens of power of 40x.

Hence, the power of the objective lens is multiplied by the ocular lens power to get the total magnification.
