Magnification is how many times larger the image is compared to the actual object.Both the eyepiece and the objective lens of the compound light microscope magnify the image.For example, if the eyepiece lens magnifies ten times (x10) and the objective lens magnifies forty times (x40) the magnification of the image will be 400x larger than the real size of the specimen.
