GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, a 10x eyepiece used with a 40X objective lens, will produce a magnification of 400X.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The magnification of a specimen can be calculated by multiplying the number found in the eyepiece with the number found on the objective being used. So, if a specimen is viewed using a 10x objective and a 10x eyepiece it will be magnified 100 times.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
