GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Low Power Objective (10x) 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. Figure 1. Sample objective magnifications.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnifying power is a measurement of how much bigger an object appears when viewed through a lens or microscope. The “X” inscribed on each eyepiece and lens stands for “times, ” so a 10X lens will make an object appear 10 times bigger than it is.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eyepiece or Ocular is what you look through at the top of the microscope. Typically, standard eyepieces have a magnifying power of 10x.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
