GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The high-powered objective lens (also called “high dry” lens) is ideal for observing fine details within a specimen sample. 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-2: -Compound microscopes magnify the tiny detail and structure of plant cells, bone marrow and blood cells, single-celled creatures like amoebas, and much more. Almost every homeschool family or hobbyist will need a 400x compound microscope to study cells and tiny organisms in biology and life science.

Detailed explanation-3: -Objective Lenses: The high-power objective lens is 40x. The oil immersion objective lens is usually the longest of the objective lenses and has a magnifying power of 100x.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
