Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A student observes a plant cell under a microscope using the low power (4x) objective. If the eyepiece has a magnification of 10x, what would be the total magnification of the cell?

A	10x
B	40x
C	100x
D	400x

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -4x is a common magnification for scanning objectives and, when combined with the magnification power of a 10x eyepiece lens, a 4x scanning objective lens gives a total magnification of 40x.

Detailed explanation-2: -The total magnification of a lens is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens with the magnification of the eyepiece. Therefore, the required magnification of the objective should be 40 X as, 40 X 10 = 400.

Detailed explanation-3: -Total Magnification: To figure the total magnification of an image that you are viewing through the microscope is really quite simple. To get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4X, 10X, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, usually 10X.
