The magnification of a telescope M is the the focal length of the objective Fo over the focal length of the eyepiece Fe so increasing the focal length of the objective increases the magnification.

The magnification of a microscope M is approximately tube length L/Fo x 25/Fe. Therefore increasing the focal length of the objective reduces the magnification.
