The oil immersion lens @100x
The objective lens that focuses closest to the slide is 100x, it has the longest lens so the highest power. Be careful not to crack the slide and make sure you use oil if it is an oil immersion lens.
100x lens is used with oil immersion

Why don't micorscope makers use 100x ocular lenses?
The most satisfactory way to study bacterial morphology 40x objective.
100x with oil immersion
The oil immersion lens @100x
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
20 paltelets
Using a 10X eyepiece, a student would need to use a 10X objective to have a final 100X magnification. 10 X 10 = 100X
Because that lens (it does not HAVE to be a 100x lens - other lens magnifications are also available in oil immersion constructions) is made to be in contact with a drop of special oil which covers the specimen. The oil has the same index of refraction as the front lens glass and that way a different optical construction can be used.
