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

What will be the total magnification if the eyepiece is 10X and the objective lens is 10X?

A	10X
B	100X
C	1000X
D	1X

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The total magnification is the magnification of the ocular lens (10) multiplied by the objective lens (100). If we multiply 100 x 10 = 1, 000. This is noted as the total magnification is 1000x, or 1000 times the size of the specimen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oil Immersion Objective Lens (100x) 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-3: -The total magnification is the product of the magnifications of two lens systems. Hence, the microscope which has a 10X objective lens and 10X ocular lens, it would magnify the object by 10 × 10 = 100 times.

Detailed explanation-4: -The total magnification achieved using a 10x objective lens with a 10x eyepiece lens is 20x. A stereomicroscope is a good option to use for viewing rather large, opaque specimens.

Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore, we multiply the ocular objective lens magnification (10x) with the high power objective lens (50x); hence, the total magnification equals 500x.
