Question

If a microscope with a 5x power, and has objectives with powers of 10x and 50x, what is the total magnification of low power?

Answer 1

The total magnification of the low power objective lens is 50x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total magnification of a microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. In this case, the low power objective lens has a magnification of 10x and the eyepiece has a magnification of 5x. Therefore, the total magnification of the low power is 10x × 5x = 50x.

Answer 2

50x you must take the magnification of the ocular lens (5x) and multiply it by the magnification of the low power lens (10x).
5X10=50
