Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How is total magnification determined?
A
Ocular Lens X Objective Lens
B
Ocular Lens/Objective Lens
C
Ocular Lens + Objective Lens
D
Ocular Lens-Objective Lens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Total magnification is calculated by multiplying the objective lens power X the ocular lens power.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simply multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens. The magnification of both microscope eyepieces and objectives is almost always engraved on the barrel (objective) or top (eyepiece). Look for numbers like 10x, 12.5x, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Low Power Objective (10x) The total magnification of a low power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece lens is 100x magnification, giving you a closer view of the slide than a scanning objective lens without getting too close for general viewing purposes.

Detailed explanation-4: -To get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4X, 10X, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, usually 10X.

Detailed explanation-5: -Grades 1-8 typically will buy a monocular compound microscope with 3 objective lenses: 4x, 10x, 40x for maximum total magnification of 400x.
