13) calculate total magnification of specimens being viewed * To calculate the total magnification of specimens being viewed, it must first be understood that each objective lens has its own level of magnification, which is then multiplied by 10, as the ocular has a magnification of 10. To calculate the total magnification then, one must multiply the magnification of the objective lens by 10. So, on the 4X objective lens, the total magnification would be 40X. So to calculate the total magnification
