What is the magnification of the ocular lens?

The magnification of the ocular lens, also known as the eyepiece, is typically around 10x in most microscopes. This means that when viewing an object through the ocular lens, it appears 10 times larger than its actual size. The magnification of the ocular lens is combined with the magnification of the objective lens to give the total magnification of the microscope. For example, if the objective lens has a magnification of 40x and the ocular lens has a magnification of 10x, the total magnification would be 400x. Magnification is an important factor in microscopy as it allows for the observation of details that are not visible to the naked eye.
