D.500x

Respuesta :

Well, this is a good question. To calculate the highest magnification of any image seen through a compound microscope, you need to multiply the power of the largest objective by the power of the eyepiece. For this case, you need to multiply 50X by 10X. The correct answer for this question is D) 500X.
