Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the total magnification is 100x and the objective is 10x, what is the ocular (eyepiece)?
A
90x
B
10x
C
110x
D
1000x
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The total magnification is the magnification of the ocular lens (10) multiplied by the objective lens (100). If we multiply 100 x 10 = 1, 000. This is noted as the total magnification is 1000x, or 1000 times the size of the specimen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The total magnification is the product of the magnifications of two lens systems. Hence, the microscope which has a 10X objective lens and 10X ocular lens, it would magnify the object by 10 × 10 = 100 times.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, we multiply the ocular objective lens magnification (10x) with the high power objective lens (50x); hence, the total magnification equals 500x.
