Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the ocular(eyepiece) is 10x and the objective is 4x, what is the total magnification?
A
14x
B
6x
C
40x
D
2.5x
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On the other hand, the power of the eyepiece is always constant at 10X generally. > Therefore, a Compound microscope with objective lens with power 40X and eyepiece with 10X power will have a magnification of 400X. >

Detailed explanation-2: -Grades 1-8 typically will buy a monocular compound microscope with 3 objective lenses: 4x, 10x, 40x for maximum total magnification of 400x.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
