Question

part 2. determining total magnification: locate the numbers on the eyepiece and the low - power objective and fill in the blanks below. eyepiece magnification (x) objective magnification = total magnification 10 2 20 x do the same for the high - power objective. eyepiece magnification (x) objective magnification = total magnification 10 40 400 x write out the rule for determining total magnification of a compound microscope. part 3. preparing and viewing a wet mount of the letter \e\ or any letter of your choosing. preparation: 1. with your scissors, cut out the letter \e\ from the newspaper. 2. place it on the glass slide as it would look like when reading. 3. cover the letter with a clean cover slip. see the figure below. note: the \e\ will be much smaller than in the example below. viewing: 1. turn on the microscope and place the slide on the stage; making sure the \e\ is facing the normal reading position (see the figure above). using the coarse focus and low power, move the body tube down until the \e\ can be seen clearly. draw what you see in the space below. all drawings should be neat and drawn with pencils.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the rule for total magnification

The total magnification of a compound microscope is found by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens. Mathematically, $Total\ Magnification = Eyepiece\ Magnification\times Objective\ Magnification$.

Answer:

The rule for determining the total magnification of a compound microscope is $Total\ Magnification = Eyepiece\ Magnification\times Objective\ Magnification$.
