What is the total magnification of a compound microscope?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

to FIND the total magnification for a light microscope, take the magnification of the ocular (eyepiece) lens and the magnification of the objective (in front of the object) lens and multiply them

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece - by the magnification of the object lens. For example - if the eyepiece is labeled 10x, and the object lense is 12x... then the total magnification is 120x

Answer 5

Light Microscope: 2000X

Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM): 500,000X

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM): ???

there are different ways

Answer 6

40X / 100X / 400X / 1000X(oil immersion lens)

Answer 7

you multiply the magnification of the lense (usually x10) by the magnification of the settting.

Answer 8

depending what type of microscope you are using
