What would the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope that has an objective power of 10x and an ocular lens power of 5x? a.) 5x b.) 15x c.) 500x d.) 50x (I know its not 500x but which of the other following choices could it be)
The total magnification of a light microscope is the multiplication of the value of the ocular lens power and the objective lens power. For the question given above, the magnification is 10 * 5 = 50x.
