Total Magnification Calculation

Question

A student was using a microscope whose eyepiece lens was marked X4. The high powered objective lenses were marked X10. Calculate the total magnification of the microscope.

Answer

Total magnification = eyepiece magnification X objective lens magnification

Total magnification = 4 (eyepiece) × 10 (objective)
Total magnification = 40

The total magnification of the microscope is 40X.
