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.
To determine the total magnification of an object being viewed under a microscope, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens.
multiply the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the high objective lens. for example, if the eyepiece magnifies x10, and the high objective magnifies x40, then the total magnification would be 400x
The general formula for Total maginifcation Tm is: Tm= Me x Mob where Me is the magnification produced by the eyepiece and Mob is the magnification produced by the objective.
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.
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.
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 =
it would be 15 times 40 which is 600 times magnification
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.
Microscopes vary in power. You can determine total magnification by the eyepiece and the lens.
Total magnification will be ocular magnification multipled by the objective magnification i.e. 10 x 25 = 250x.AnswerThe last time I checked if the eyepiece is on Low Power that means it is 10x. You must multiply the additional 20x, so the total magnification is 200x.
15 * 30 = 450 ------------
The total magnification would be 200x, since the total magnification is the magnification of the objective lens X the magnification of the eyepiece.
To determine the total magnification of an object being viewed under a microscope, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens.
