How much does the eyepiece on a microscope magnify the image?

The eyepiece on a microscope typically magnifies the image by a factor of 10x, although this can vary depending on the specific eyepiece used. Some specialized eyepieces may offer higher magnifications, such as 15x or 20x. The total magnification of the microscope is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective lens magnification. For example, using a 10x eyepiece with a 40x objective results in a total magnification of 400x.
