Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	3, 600 micrometers
B	500 micrometers
C	400 micrometers
D	1, 500 micrometers

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, we multiply the ocular objective lens magnification (10x) with the high power objective lens (50x); hence, the total magnification equals 500x.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Magnification: Your microscope has 4 objective lenses: Scanning (4x), Low (10x), High (40x), and Oil Immersion (100x).

Detailed explanation-4: -Field of view is how much of your specimen or object you will be able to see through the microscope. At 40x magnification you will be able to see 5mm. At 100x magnification you will be able to see 2mm. At 400x magnification you will be able to see 0.45mm, or 450 microns.
