Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification
total magnification =
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
The total magnification of a microscope is found by multiplying the ocular and objective together.
the power of the ocular lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens
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.
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.
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification
To determine the total magnification of a microscope you multiply the magnification power of the objectives lens (indicated as x10) by that of the eye piece.
total magnification =
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
it would be 15 times 40 which is 600 times magnification
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
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.
