Question

ii. determining total magnification: objective lenses: usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. the powers are 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x. the eyepiece lens is 10x, so the total magnification is the eyepiece times the power lens, for example: 10x x 4x=40x magnification. 10x x 10x=100x 10x x 40x=400x 10x x100x=1000x the shortest lens is the lowest power. the longest lenses in the greatest power. 1. how do you calculate the power of magnification? 2. calculate the powers of magnification for each objective lens. band color|objective power|eyepiece lens power|power of magnification preparing a wet mount for the letter e 1. cut out the letter \e\ 2. place it on the glass slide to look like\e\ 3. cover the \e\ with a clean cover slip. 4. drop a drop of water at the edge of the cover slip. 5. turn on the microscope and place the slide on the stage with the \e\ facing you. draw what you see.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify magnification - calculation formula

Total magnification = Eyepiece power × Objective power

Step2: Calculate magnifications for each objective lens

For objective power 4X: $10\times4 = 40$X
For objective power 10X: $10\times10 = 100$X
For objective power 40X: $10\times40 = 400$X
For objective power 100X: $10\times100 = 1000$X

Answer:

1. The power of magnification is calculated by multiplying the power of the eyepiece lens by the power of the objective lens.

Band color	Objective power	Eyepiece lens power	Power of magnification
N/A (not given in problem)	10X	10X	100X
N/A (not given in problem)	40X	10X	400X
N/A (not given in problem)	100X	10X	1000X
