GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The objective lenses usually provide 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x magnification. The final magnification is the product of the magnification of the ocular and objective lenses. A slide is placed on the mechanical stage and is moved by rotating the stage control knobs. The lamp is an integral part of the base.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most compound microscopes come with interchangeable lenses known as objective lenses. Objective lenses come in various magnification powers, with the most common being 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x, also known as scanning, low power, high power, and (typically) oil immersion objectives, respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
