One can calculate the total magnification of a microscope by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the main scope. For a compound microscope one must multiply each eye piece magnification.

What is the total magnification of a microscope with two lenses when one lens has a magnification of of 15 and the other lens has a magnification of 30?

To calculate magnification , multiply mag.Power of both lenses 15 x 30 = 350


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.

How is the total magnification of a microscope determined?

Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.

What is the total magnification of a microscope if the microscope is on high-power?

This depend on type of microscope and in particular which specific model it is. High power may refer to the microscopes ability to enlarge a lot, not that it actually consumes power. In this understanding of the term, the microscope in question might have two separate but combined lenses of which the total magnification can be calculated from. It may have an objective lens and an eye piece lens, both of which that might be changed in order to achieve greater or less magnification. Typical configurations are: Objective lenses of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 40, 100X magnification Eye piece lenses of 5, 10, 15, 20X magnification. If your microscope fits this configuration, then the maximum magnification you can achieve is 100x20, a magnification of maximum 2000 times. The problem here is the wavelength of visible light. It does not allow for more magnification than approx 1500 times and even this is not a very detailed one.


Does amount of light needed increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnification with the microscope?

The amount of light needed increases as one moves to higher magnification with the microscope. This is usually done by opening the light diaphragm.
