Microscope Magnification

What is usually the magnification of the eyepiece?

• 4x

• 10x - 15x

• 40x

• 100x

How do you calculate the total magnification?

• Add the magnification of the objective and eyepiece

• Multiply the magnification of the objective times the eyepiece

• Subtract the magnification of the objective from the eyepiece

• Divide the magnification of the objective by the eyepiece

If the eyepiece magnification is 10x and the objective magnification is 40x, what is the total magnification?

• 4x

• 30x

• 50x

• 400x

If the eyepiece magnification is 15x and the objective magnification is 100x, what is the total magnification?

• 1500x

• 115x

• 85x

• 6.6x

Suppose the total magnification is 100x, and the eyepiece lens is 10x. What is the objective lens magnification?

• 1000x

• 90x

• 10x

• 110x

When you are viewing a specimen under the microscope, the image is magnified by both of these two lenses.

• high and low power

• eyepiece and objective

• base and arm

• left and right
