The light microscope can make the object_________times bigger?
Correct answer: C. 1000 times
- A. 10 times
- B. 100 times
- C. 1000 times
- D. 10000 times
Explanation
A standard compound light microscope commonly provides a total magnification of about 1000 times, calculated from a 10x eyepiece x 100x objective = 1000x. Higher magnification is possible with specialized instruments, but 1000x is the usual school-level value for a light microscope. Students may choose 100 times by considering only the objective lens and ignoring the eyepiece magnification.
