Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If your ocular lens is 10x and your high power lens is 40x what is the total magnification
A
40x
B
10x
C
100x
D
400x
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, a 10x eyepiece used with a 40X objective lens, will produce a magnification of 400X. The naked eye can now view the specimen at a magnification 400 times greater and so microscopic details are revealed.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The total magnification of a high-power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece is equal to 400x magnification, giving you a very detailed picture of the specimen in your slide.

Detailed explanation-4: -The total magnification of a typical compound microscope with 10x eyepiece and 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x objectives will be 40x, 100x, 400x and 1000x depending on the lenses used.
