  3. A Compound Microscope has 2 Lenses • A compound light microscope uses two lenses to make an image look bigger. One is the eyepiecelens and the other is the objective lens. Each lens bends the light making the image look larger. • THINK! - What is the magnification number on the eyepiece? • 10x • THINK!- What is the magnification number written on each objective lens? • low power: 4x • medium power: 10x • high power: 40x

  4. Calculating Total Magnification • To figure out the total magnification use this equation: • Total Magnification (x) = Eyepiece Mag. x Objective Mag. • THINK! - Use the equation above to calculate total magnification. • Total Magnification under Low power= • 10 x 4 = 40x • Total Magnification under Medium Power = • 10 x 10 = 100x • Total Magnification under High Power = • 10 x 40 = 400x
