15. Microscope Magnification
If you want to know how to figure out how you find the overall magnification of a
microscope on high, medium, and low power all you do is multiply.
For low power you would need to multiply 10 (the magnification on the
eyepiece) by 4 (the magnification of low power).
For medium power you would need to multiply 10 (the magnification on the
eyepiece) by 10 (the magnification of medium power).
For high power you would need to multiply 10 (the magnification on the
eyepiece) by 40 (the magnification of high power).
