Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the total magnification for this microscope is 100X.

Detailed explanation-2: -Low Power Objective (10x) The total magnification of a low power objective lens combined with a 10x eyepiece lens is 100x magnification, giving you a closer view of the slide than a scanning objective lens without getting too close for general viewing purposes. Figure 1.

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: -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-5: -The product of the objective magnification and the eyepiece magnification gives the final magnification of the microscope. So, a 60x objective and a 10x eyepiece gives a total magnification of 600x.
