Answer 1

Total magnification of an object observed through the eyepieces (ocular lens) is calculated by multiplying the ocular lens magnification times the magnification of the objective lens being used (either: 4X, 10X, 20X, 40X, 100X, etc.). “X” is placed after obtaining the total magnification number.
