GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The oil immersion objective lens provides the most powerful magnification, with a whopping magnification total of 1000x when combined with a 10x eyepiece.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compound Microscopes Typically, a compound microscope is used for viewing samples at high magnification (40-1000x), which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens (in the eyepiece) and the objective lenses (close to the sample).

Detailed explanation-3: -Placing a drop of oil with the same refractive index as glass between the cover slip and objective lens eliminates two refractive surfaces, so that magnifications of 1000x or greater can be achieved while still preserving good resolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Light microscopes commonly used college classroom laboratories are used to magnify specimens up 400 times (400x), but oil immersion lenses can also be used with these microscopes for magnification of 1, 000 times (1000x) to view very small structures or very small cells such as bacteria.

Detailed explanation-5: -The image of a specimen is magnified approximately 1000 times using a compound microscope.
