Detailed explanation-1: -To calculate the total magnification of a microscope, simply multiply the power of the ocular lens by the power of the objective lens. For example, if the ocular lens is 5X and the objective lens is 12X, the total magnification would be 5 x 12 or 60X.
Detailed explanation-2: -To get the total magnification level you must multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by the magnification of the objective lens. So, if you are viewing your slide under the 40x objective lens you would multiply that by the 10x of the ocular lens for a total magnification of 400x.
Detailed explanation-3: -The total magnification is the product of the magnifications of two lens systems. Hence, the microscope which has a 10X objective lens and 10X ocular lens, it would magnify the object by 10 × 10 = 100 times.
Detailed explanation-4: -Magnification depends on the ratio of the telescope’s focal length to the focal length of the eyepiece. To calculate this, divide the focal length of the telescope (ft) by the focal length of the eyepiece (fe): M = ft / fe.
