An object is magnified so that it appears 100X larger. Which of the following objectives is in alignment if the ocular lens magnifies 10X?
A) 4X
B) 40X
C) 10X
D) 100X
Magnification of a microscope is the ability to magnify the specimen or object under study. Magnification of a microscope is the product of magnification of objective lens and magnification of eyepiece lens.
Magnification = magnification of objective lens x magnification of eyepiece lens
M = me x mo
Here in the question the object is magnified 100x larger
M = 100
The magnification of ocular/ eyepiece is 10 x
me = 10
So, the objective magnification is,
mo= M / me= 100 /10
= 10
The objective is in 10 x alignment
Other options are incorrect.
Option C is the answer.
10X is the answer.
