Most light microscopes have 10X eyepieces.
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.
15 * 30 = 450 ------------

Light.
Most light microscopes have 10X eyepieces.
Total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens by that of the objective lens. Compound microscope that uses more than one lens to direct light through a specimen mounted on a glass slide.
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.
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.

Light.
The simplest optical microscope is the magnifying glass and is good to about ten times (10X) magnification. The compound microscope has two systems of lenses for greater magnification, 1) the ocular, or eyepiece lens that one looks into and 2) the objective lens, or the lens closest to the object.
10 x * 40x = 400x
