Best Answer

The power of a microscope magnification is the eye piece power times the objective lens so 10X eye piece times 10X objective is 100 power Common eyepieces are 10x 15x, 20X. The limit is about 2000X in an excellent unit. Average practical use is about 1000X to 1400X In expensive scopes the higher power objective lenes as 100X are made from oil not glass.
