Question

In a compound microscope, the magnification power of the objective lens is 100×, and that of the eyepiece (ocular lens) is 10×. The magnification power of the microscope is ______×.

Hint:

In a compound microscope, total magnification = product of objective and eyepiece magnifications.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 1000

Step 1: Recall the formula for total magnification.
\[ M_{\text{total}} = M_{\text{objective}} \times M_{\text{eyepiece}} \] Step 2: Substitute given values.
\[ M_{\text{objective}} = 100, \quad M_{\text{eyepiece}} = 10 \] \[ M_{\text{total}} = 100 \times 10 = 1000 \] Step 3: Conclusion.
\[ \boxed{\text{Total magnification} = 1000×} \]
