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.

∙ 14y agoThe multiplication of the eyepiece lens (usually 10x) times the multiplication of the objective lens (usually 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x)
So total magnification would be 40x (4x times 10x), 100x , 400x and 1000x.

The total magnification achieved when using a 100x oil immersion lens with a 10x binocular eyepiece is?
1000X magnification
Is there an upper limit to magnification using visible light?
Yes, the wavelength of the light limits the maximum magnification of a microscope. Using visible light, the limit is about 1200 to 1500X.
What is the magnification of a microscope with an ocular eye piece of 10X and an objective of 50X?
The total magnification would be 500x...you take the ocular and multiply it by whatever objective you are using.
When using a microscope with a 10x ocular and the 40x objective plane what is total magnification?
400x
What is the size of an organism that measures 5 omu using 100X total magnification?
50 micrometers
Why is it one needs more illumination when using the higher levels of magnification?
It's actually simple: The more the magnification, the smaller a "picture" of the available light you are getting - hence the more magnification, the darker the image looks. It works the same way with an astronomical telescope: The more magnification you use (assuming the objective lens doesn't change) the dimmer the object gets. To put it another way - there is a big difference between how high a magnification you are using, and how much light is reaching your eye.
What is the increase of an objects apparent size by using lenses or mirrors?
magnification
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.
The total magnification achieved when using a 100x oil immersion lens with a 10x binocular eyepiece is?
1000X magnification
What magnification would you get by using the eyepiece ofx5 magnification with an objective lence of x10 magnification?
its really good question that i know!!!by ur momma

Yes, the wavelength of the light limits the maximum magnification of a microscope. Using visible light, the limit is about 1200 to 1500X.
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 measure diameter of cell nucleus?
First you must obtain an adequate sample of the cells (and their nucleus) which you wish to measure. Once you have the slides you have to methods of measuring: 1.- using a microscope with a graded eyepiece. This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope. 2.- Capturing digital images of the cell nucleus at a known magrnification and then using a program to measure the diameter of the cell nucleus ( I am currently using the free program IMAGETOOLS to do exactly that!!) This also requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope.This requires a few simple steps of calculation regarding magnification of the different lenses on the microscope....but in this case the computer program does it for you.
What is the magnification of a microscope with an ocular eye piece of 10X and an objective of 50X?
The total magnification would be 500x...you take the ocular and multiply it by whatever objective you are using.
Pros and cons of using compound microscope?
it has light limited magnification
What is the total magnification of a microscope with a 10x Eyepiece and a 40x Objective?
The total magnification of the microscope when using the 40x objective depends on the strength of the eye piece lens. Typically a 10x eye piece lens is used in college microscopes this would give 40x10 = 400x magnification.
What is the total magnification of an object observed through a 65x objective with a 10x eyepiece?
450x TM ( magnification of the ocular lens ( 10x) multiplied by the magnification from the objective lens ( 45x)= 450x TM ( total magnification)
