![]() So, a compound microscope with a 10x eyepiece magnification looking through the 40x objective lens has a total magnification of 400x (10 x 40). The total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the objective lens magnification by the eyepiece magnification level. 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x are the most common magnifying powers used for the objectives. Objective lenses: There are usually 3-5 optical lens objectives on a compound microscope each with different magnification levels.Base: Bottom base of the microscope that houses the illumination & supports the compound microscope.This part rotates to change which objective lens is active. Nosepiece: Holds the objective lenses & attaches them to the microscope head. ![]()
