eg. If the lens piece you are looking through is X10 and the objective lens is X100 it would be x1000

You multiply them together.

For example, if the eyepiece is 10X and the objective is 40X, then the total magnification is 10X40 = 400X

What is the total magnification of a microscope when the eyepiece lens by the magnification of the the high objective lens?

multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the high objective lens. for example, if the eyepiece magnifies x10, and the high objective magnifies x40, then the total magnification would be 400x


How do you caculate total magnification?

The general formula for Total maginifcation Tm is: Tm= Me x Mob where Me is the magnification produced by the eyepiece and Mob is the magnification produced by the objective.


What is the total magnification of a compound microscope?

The ocular lens are 10x magnification. Objective lens are 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x magnification. So once an objective lens is selected, the total magnification would be given by its product with the 10x magnification of the ocular lens. For example, if objective lens selected is 40x, total magnification would be: (10x)(40x)=400x total.


Eyepiece that magnifies the specimen 10X?

The highest magnification that can be obtained from a microscope depends on the objective (main lens) of the microscope and has no bearing on the magnification of the eye piece. A 10X eyepiece can only add to the magnification but cannot provide any further information.


If a light microscope has an eyepiece lens of magnification x15 what magnification of objective lens would be needed to get a total magnification of x1500?

The total magnification is equal to the magnification of the eyepiece multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens. So in this case the objective lens would need to be 100X.

What is the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope?

To determine the magnification of the eyepiece on a microscope take the total magnification for the microscope and divide it by the total magnification of the objective lens. The answer is what the magnification is for the eyepiece.

What would the magnification of your microscope be if you used a 5x eyepiece and a 10x objective?

It would be 50x. To find the magnification, you just have to multiply the number eyepiece and the number objective. So for example, * A 10x eyepiece and a 40x objective would have a magnification of 400x * A 10x eyepiece and a 100x objective would have a magnification of 1,000x

Refers to the power of a microscope calculated by multiplying the power on the objective by the power on the eyepiece?

The magnification of the microscope


What is the total magnification if you view an object using a 40x objective lens and the eyepiece of the microscope is at 5x magnifying power?

The total magnification would be 200x, since the total magnification is the magnification of the objective lens X the magnification of the eyepiece.


How do you determine the total magnification on a light microscope?

Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece (usually 10x) and the magnification of the objective you are using, Example: eyepiece = 10 x objective lense = 40x 10 x 40 = 400 magnification of 400x.


How do you calculate magnification of a microscope?

Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece - by the magnification of the object lens. For example - if the eyepiece is labeled 10x, and the object lense is 12x... then the total magnification is 120x


What is the magnification of microscope if an eyepiece is marked 5x and an objective lens 10x?

10 x 5 = 50 the magnification of microscope is 50


What is the function of the eyepiece of a microscope?

The function of the eyepiece is to allow us to observe the specimen in a microscope. It multiplies and adjusts the magnification of the objective lenses. Sometimes, it even corrects aberrations of the objective lens.


Has the eyepiece of a microscope no magnification?

The eyepiece has a magnification and is usually 10x.
