The total magnification of a microscope is found by multiplying the ocular and objective together.
Simply, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens times the magnification of the objective lens you have in place.
Most light microscopes have 10X eyepieces.
the power of the ocular lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens
The total magnification would be 500x...you take the ocular and multiply it by whatever objective you are using.

To determine the total magnification of an object being viewed under a microscope, multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens.
it is because the objectives have different values of magnification.....
magnification= ocular power *objective power=10X*60X
400x
The ocular lens are 10x magnification. Objective lens are 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x magnification. So once an objective lens is selected, the total magnification would be given by its product with the 10x magnification of the ocular lens. For example, if objective lens selected is 40x, total magnification would be: (10x)(40x)=400x total.
The ocular and objectives
Multiply the magnification of the ocular and objective lenses. For an example, an ocular lense with mag 10X and an objective lense with mag 40X would result in a total magnification of 400X.
