Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which lens is the second step in magnification and has a power of 40X to 43X?
A
scanning objective
B
low-power objective
C
eyepiece
D
high-power objective
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -High Power Objective Lens (40x) The high-powered objective lens (also called “high dry” lens) is ideal for observing fine details within a specimen sample.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x powers.
