If 15 mm size object is observed under light microscope using 5X eyepieces and 10X objective, its magnified image size will be:
Biology
Cell Structure and Function
Elimination Tool:
Multiplying the eyepiece’s (ocular lens’s) magnification by the objective lens’s magnification yields the overall magnification of an item seen under a microscope. In this instance, a 10X objective lens and a 5X eyepiece are being used.
Eyepiece magnification x objective magnification equals total magnification.
5X x 10X is the total magnification.
50X is the total magnification.
Therefore, using the specified microscope configuration, the item will be magnified fifty times. The enlarged picture size of an item with an actual size of 15 mm is:
Actual size × total magnification equals the magnified picture size.
Image size magnified: 15 mm × 50X
750 mm is the magnified picture size.
The image will be 750 mm in size when enlarged.
