the objective and ocular lenses are responsible for magnifying the image.
so for 10x objective and 10x ocular
total magnification= 10x10= 100x(this means that the image being viewed will appear to be 100 times its actual size)
a)scanning(small lens),red ring=4x or 5x
b)low power (medium lens), yellow ring = 10x
c) high power (large lens),blue ring = 40x
d)oil immersion (largest lens),white ring = 100-250x
4.immersion oil helps to focus on lighting
5. total magnification=15x40 =600x
6. diaphragm controls the amount of light reaching the specimen.
They control both the focus and quantity of light applied to the specimen.
