  1. The total magnification through a compound microscope is equal to the magnification of the OCULAR LENS times the magnification of the OBJECTIVE LENS.

    The ocular, or eye piece, has a magnification of 10x. Objectives on most laboratory microscopes have magnifications of 10x, 40x, and 100x.

    Thus, the magnification of a microscope in which the low power (10x) is being used is

    10 x 10 = 100 (Total magnification)


  2. The total magnification through a compound microscope is equal to the magnification of the objective times the magnification of the eyepiece.
