Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Here are the settings on a microscope:Ocular Lens:10X Low Power Lens:20X High Power Lens:50X You measure the field of view under low power to be 2.6 mm Calculate (in micrometers) the field of view that would appear on high power.
A
104, 000
B
1.04
C
1040
D
130
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Low Power Objective (10x) The total magnification of a low power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece lens is 100x magnification, giving you a closer view of the slide than a scanning objective lens without getting too close for general viewing purposes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, we multiply the ocular objective lens magnification (10x) with the high power objective lens (50x); hence, the total magnification equals 500x.

Detailed explanation-3: -Total Magnification: To figure the total magnification of an image that you are viewing through the microscope is really quite simple. To get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4X, 10X, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, usually 10X.
