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

What is the total magnification if you are using an objective that is 40x and the eyepiece is 10X?

A	4x
B	40x
C	400x
D	4000x

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Grades 1-8 typically will buy a monocular compound microscope with 3 objective lenses: 4x, 10x, 40x for maximum total magnification of 400x.

Detailed explanation-3: -High Power Objective Lens (40x) 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-4: -To get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4X, 10X, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, usually 10X.
