Summary Introduction

To calculate:

The total magnification when the 10 X eyepiece and 10 X objective are used.

Introduction:

Magnification can be defined as the process of intensifying not physical size but the visible size, of something. This amplification is quantified by a calculated number. When this value is less than one then it is known as a reduction in size. It is known as the de-magnification or minification.

Explanation of Solution

Total magnification can be defined as the condition when the thing being viewed is magnified to its highest limit. The total magnification can be calculated by the multiplication of eyepiece magnification by the objective lens magnification.

The eyepiece and objective lenses are helpful for magnifying the specimen image being viewed. So, for the 10X eyepiece and 10X objective.

The total magnification would be 100 X.

   Total magnification = Magnification of eyepiece × objective lens                              =10 × 10 = 100 X

It represents that the image being viewed will emerge to be 100 times more than its actual size.

Conclusion

Hence, it represents that the image being viewed will emerge to be 100 times more than its actual size.
