Introduction :
A microscope is a type of scientific instrument used in laboratories to visualize microscopic organisms not visible to naked eyes. Microscopes are of different types but the simplest of all and most commonly used one is the light microscope. It uses a source of light to illuminate objects along with a combination of lenses to magnify the object.
Answer to Problem 4A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (d) 175x.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (d) 175x. The total magnification of an object done by a set of lenses in a light microscope is the multiplicative effect of individual magnification of all the lenses. Therefore, the total magnification of this microscope can be calculated as:
So, the correct answer is option (d).
Explanation for incorrect answer :
Option (a) 25x. The calculated total magnification comes out to be 175x. Therefore, this is an incorrect option.
Option (b) 35x. The calculated total magnification comes out to be 175x. Therefore, this is an incorrect option.
Option (c) 17x. The calculated total magnification comes out to be 175x. Therefore, this is an incorrect option.

She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes.
