For a total magnification of 200x, what ocular and objective would be used?Group of answer choices5x ocular with a 40x objective10x ocular with 100x objective10x ocular with a 10x objective5x ocular with 25x objective
Solution
The total magnification of a microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens (the one you look through) by the magnification of the objective lens (the one closest to the specimen).
Given the options:
- 5x ocular with a 40x objective = 5 * 40 = 200x
- 10x ocular with 100x objective = 10 * 100 = 1000x
- 10x ocular with a 10x objective = 10 * 10 = 100x
- 5x ocular with 25x objective = 5 * 25 = 125x
So, for a total magnification of 200x, you would use a 5x ocular with a 40x objective.
