On a the microscope I use, the ocular (eyepiece) has a magnification power of 10x. The 'low' (or 'scanning') objective lens is 4x, the 'medium' has a power of 10x, and the 'high' has a power of 40x. Multiply the ocular by the lens you're using to get your 'total magnification.' TIP: Only use the coarse adjustment knob while on 'low' power, then use the fine adjustment. Why? If you use the coarse adjustment knob on 'medium' or 'high,' there's a good chance you'll crack your slide.
