Question

When calculating total magnification (TM), you require the magnification of both the occular lens and the ojective lens. Your occular lens is always 10 times magnification.If your microscope is on scanning power: What is the magnification of the objective lens: ____________ times (enter a numeric value only, no units) Calculate the total magnification for the scanning objective lens: __________________ TM (enter a numeric value only, no units)

Answer 1

When we are talking of an optic microscope we have generally 4 objectives, with a 10X, 20X, 40X, and 100X, there is a variation from model to model but is the most common magnification we have. This means that sample will be magnified 10, 20, 40 or 100 times,
