Best Answer

Magnifying an image allows for easier investigation and viewing capabilities. Images which are under a 10X objective magnification and 6 times larger than an image which is under a 4X magnification.

A microscope total magnification is the product of an eyepiece magnification and an objective magnification. For example, if you have an 10x eyepiece and 10x objective, the microscope magnification will be 100x. For 10x eyepiece and 4x objective the total magnification will be 40x. therefore, the image under 10x objective is 2.5 times larger than under 4x with the same eyepiece.

Actually, 10x / 4x=2.5 times. So, that is the answer.

Is total magnification an eyepiece magnification plus an objective magnification?

The total magnification is the object magnification for example 4x,10x etc. times eyepiece magnification usually 10x and you get the total magnification. The objective lens magnification is the lens right above the slide usually 4x,10x etc.


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 does total power of magnification mean?

The total power of magnification refers to how many times bigger than actual size you are viewing the specimen with a microscope. It is measure by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the objective lens you are using. For example, most eye pieces magnify by 10X. So, if you are viewing a specimen with the 4X objective lens, you are actually seeing the specimen 40 times larger than normal. (10X * 4X)


The sharpness of an image produced by a microscope is called magnification.?

No. Magnification refers to how many times larger an image is made.The sharpness of an image produced by a microscope is called resolution.


What is the total magnification using 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.

10 times eye piece 40 times objective lens?

Each objective lens has a different magnification. Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens to produce total magnification. For example, a 10X ocular lens and a 40X objective lens will produce a total magnification of 400X (10 x 40 = 400).


What happens to total magnification if increase objective lens?

Total magnification is calculated by objective times ocular lens. So if you increase the objective lens is directly related to an increase in magnification.

How you find the magnification of a microscope?

Simply, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens times the magnification of the objective lens you have in place.

How is magnification calculated using simple micrroscope?

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 rule for the total magnification of a compound microscope?

Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification


What is the magnification of a high power objective?

The oil immersion lens or objective has power 90X-100X and an eyepiece lens generally in light microscope comes with 10X so total magnification of oil immersion lens is 100X10 = 1,000


Compound microscopes magnification level?

The magnification level of compound microscope is from 50 times to 1000 times larger image.


What is the total magnification if the eyepiece lens has a magnification of 10 times and the objective lens is 10 times?

To quote Wikipedia;"The angular magnification is given by : :: : where Mo is the magnification of the objective and Me the magnification of the eyepiece." So 10x X 20x = 200x
