|
|
40x
|
|
|
100x
|
|
|
400x

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -4x is a common magnification for scanning objectives and, when combined with the magnification power of a 10x eyepiece lens, a 4x scanning objective lens gives a total magnification of 40x.
Detailed explanation-2: -To get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4X, 10X, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, usually 10X.
Detailed explanation-3: -The total magnification of a lens is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens with the magnification of the eyepiece. Therefore, the required magnification of the objective should be 40 X as, 40 X 10 = 400.
