The total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens (eyepiece) by the magnification of the objective lens being used. In this case, if the ocular lens is 10x and you are using a 4x objective lens, the total magnification would be 10x multiplied by 4x, resulting in 40x. Therefore, the total magnification is 40 times.
