If 5x oculars are used instead of 10x oculars with the same objectives, the total magnification of the microscope would be halved. For example, if an objective lens provides 40x magnification, using 5x oculars would yield a total magnification of 200x (40x objective × 5x ocular), compared to 400x with 10x oculars. Thus, the overall magnification achieved with 5x oculars would be significantly lower.
