Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Select the total magnification of the high, medium, and low power objective lenses.
A
4, 40, 10
B
40, 10, 4
C
400, 100, 40
D
40, 100, 400
E
4000, 1000, 400
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: -High Power Lens (40x) The high power lens is identifiable by a blue strip around the lens housing. Most compound light microscopes are sold with a 40x magnification high power lens, although this is not always the case. You may get a 32x or 60x magnification high power lens, for example.
