Science 10 problem with Microscopes?

Question

How do we calculate the maginification of a low power, medium power, high power for a microscope? I have a test tommorow and the only thing I don't know is this. Is there any site for this?


Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

All you have to do is multiply the magnification of the eyepiece times the magnification of the objective lens.

Example: The eyepiece is 10x and the high power objective is 40x. The total magnification is 10*40 = 400X.
