Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the eyepiece lens is x15 and the objective lens is x40, what is the total magnification?
A
x600
B
x2.5
C
x400
D
x750
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnification power is 600X Total magnification is measured by the multiples of power of eye piece and the power of objective lens. such as 15X and 40X indicating that the object is enlarged 15 times and 40 times. Formula is X = eye piece power X objective lens power. X= 15 * 40=600X.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 60x objective, often available in either dry or oil immersion, provides 50% greater magnification than a 40x lens. The 60x dry is sometimes chosen over a 100x oil immersion lens for higher magnification without the need to use immersion oil.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, light compound microscope with 15X eye piece lense and 45X objective lense will have a magnification of 675.
