What is the total magnification of a compound microscope that has one lens with a magnification of 25 and a second lens with a magnification of 10?
35
500
2.5
250
The total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece lens.
Therefore, the total magnification in this case would be:
Total magnification = Objective lens magnification × Eyepiece lens magnification
Total magnification = 25 × 10
Total magnification = 250
Therefore, the total magnification of the compound microscope is 250.
