Dear student

Once the magnification of each individual lens is known, calculating total magnification is simple math. Multiply the magnification of the lenses together.

The answer is 50

In order to ascertain the total magnification when viewing an image with a compound light microscope, take the power of the objective lens which is at 4x, 10x or 40x and multiply it by the power of the eyepiece which is typically 10x.
