Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the eyepiece lens is x15 and the objective lens is x40, what is the total magnification?
A
x600
B
x2.5
C
x400
D
x750
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnification power is 600X Total magnification is measured by the multiples of power of eye piece and the power of objective lens. such as 15X and 40X indicating that the object is enlarged 15 times and 40 times. Formula is X = eye piece power X objective lens power. X= 15 * 40=600X.

Detailed explanation-2: -To get the total magnification level you must multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by the magnification of the objective lens. So, if you are viewing your slide under the 40x objective lens you would multiply that by the 10x of the ocular lens for a total magnification of 400x.

Detailed explanation-3: -High Power Objective Lens (40x) The total magnification of a high-power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece is equal to 400x magnification, giving you a very detailed picture of the specimen in your slide.
