It is a way of saying how much bigger the object appears. If you look at your thumb through a lens with an ocular magnification of 20x, your thumb will look twenty times bigger.
Ocular magnification is usually 10x.
The total magnification of a microscope is found by multiplying the ocular and objective together.
The total magnification would be 500x...you take the ocular and multiply it by whatever objective you are using.
Simply, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens times the magnification of the objective lens you have in place.
225x
Most light microscopes have 10X eyepieces.
magnification= ocular power *objective power=10X*60X
the power of the ocular lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens
Most light microscopes have 10X eyepieces.
450x TM ( magnification of the ocular lens ( 10x) multiplied by the magnification from the objective lens ( 45x)= 450x TM ( total magnification)
it is because the objectives have different values of magnification.....
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.
Multiply the magnification of the ocular and objective lenses. For an example, an ocular lense with mag 10X and an objective lense with mag 40X would result in a total magnification of 400X.
