To calculate the total magnification of a microscope, you multiply the magnification power of the objective lens by the magnification power of the eyepiece lens. Using the chart provided, we can fill in the blanks for each power setting:

  1. Scanning Power:

    • Objective Lens: \(4 \times\)
    • Eye Piece: \(10 \times\)
    • Total Magnification: \(4 \times 10 = 40\)
  2. Low Power:

    • Objective Lens: \(10 \times\)
    • Eye Piece: \(10 \times\)
    • Total Magnification: \(10 \times 10 = 100\)
  3. High Power:

    • Objective Lens: \(40 \times\)
    • Eye Piece: \(10 \times\)
    • Total Magnification: \(40 \times 10 = 400\)
  4. Oil Immersion:

    • Objective Lens: \(100 \times\)
    • Eye Piece: \(10 \times\)
    • Total Magnification: \(100 \times 10 = 1000\)

In summary, the total magnifications for each setting are:

  • Scanning: \(40\)
  • Low: \(100\)
  • High: \(400\)
  • Oil: \(1000\)
