Question

which setting would allow you to observe a specimen with the highest possible magnification? a objective 5x ocular 5x b objective 5x ocular 10x c objective 10x ocular 5x d objective 10x ocular 10x

Explanation:

Step1: Recall total magnification formula

Total magnification = Objective magnification × Ocular magnification

Step2: Calculate magnification for A

For A: \(5\times5 = 25\)x

Step3: Calculate magnification for B

For B: \(5\times10 = 50\)x

Step4: Calculate magnification for C

For C: \(10\times5 = 50\)x

Step5: Calculate magnification for D

For D: \(10\times10 = 100\)x

Answer:

D. Objective 10x Ocular 10x
