A microscope is supplied with 10x and 15x eyepieces and with 10x and 44x objective lenses. What is the maximum magnification that can be obtained from this microscope?
A
59x
B
150x
C
440x
D
660x
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: -A microscope’s total magnification is a combination of the eyepieces and the objective lens. For example, a biological microscope with 10x eyepieces and a 40x objective has 400x magnification.
