19. If a student observes a cell using a 10x eyepiece and a 43x objective lens, what is the total
magnification of the cell? ____430x____________________________________________

objective lens? ___because there is very little room between the slide and objective lens and the
coarse adjustment may move the objective lens into the slide, crushing the slide and possibly
