Eyepiece that magnifies the specimen 10X?

The highest magnification that can be obtained from a microscope depends on the objective (main lens) of the microscope and has no bearing on the magnification of the eye piece. A 10X eyepiece can only add to the magnification but cannot provide any further information.


What magnification is the eyepiece?

the eye piece magnification is 10x.


How does one calculate total magnification on the microscope?

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.


Total magnification is determined by?

the eyepiece lens magnification X the magnification of the objective lens.


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)


Why are today microscope called compound scopes?

Because the magnification of image = magnification of eyes piece * magnification of lens.


What is a cylindrically shaped attachment on the revolving nose piece of a compound light microscope near the specimen?

The objective lens magnifies the specimen, producing a real image that is then magnified by the ocular lens resulting in the final image; The total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the objective lens value by the ocular lens value


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 if the eye piece is 15 and the objective is 4?

The total magnification is 60.


How do you determine the total magnification of microscope?

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.


How do the lenses in light microscopes magnify an object?

This is done through the law of reflection and of course magnification. light is passed through the specimen and through the objective lenses. each objective lenses have different degrees of magnification powers. they have 10x, 40x, and oil immersion lens which has magnification up to 100x. the image is then passed through the eye piece and which also has another set of lens which further enhance the image with a magnification up to 10x and finally we view the magnified object.


What is the smallest magnification piece called?
