A microscope has a 10x eye piece and a 1.5x auxiliary lens. You use a 40x objective to image a tissue section. What is the total magnification of the image?

A microscope has an ocular marked $+15 \times$ and an objective with a focal length of $+4.5 \mathrm{~mm}$. What is the total magnification if the objective forms its image $16.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ beyond its secondary focal plane?
A lens that has a focal length of 5.00 $\mathrm{cm}$ is used as a magnifying glass. (a) To obtain maximum magnification and an image that can be seen clearly by a normal eye, where should the object be placed? (b) What is the magnification?
