Question

what is the expected magnification of a 0.2 specimen using the low power objective if the eyepiece magnifies up to 10x

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given - Magnification of eye piece - 10x

Magnification of low power objective lens - 40x.

Find - Total magnification of the image.

Solution - Total magnification of the image will be - 10*40

Total magnification of the image - 400x.

Magnification is defined as increase in apparent size of the object rather than its actual size.

Total magnification of the microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification values of lens of microscope which are eye piece and objective lens.
