The total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens (usually 10x) with the magnification of the objective lens. If the lowest power objective has a magnification of 4x, then the total magnification would be 40x (10x * 4x).
You place the object on the stage of the microscope when you are viewing it. The stage is the flat platform where the specimen is positioned for observation under the lens.
Objective lenses are located beneath the microscope stage, facing the specimen. They are usually mounted on a revolving nosepiece so that different objective lenses with varying magnifications can be easily switched during observation.
An object is usually placed on a glass slide or a petri dish when using a flat microscope platform for viewing. These platforms provide a stable surface for the sample to be securely positioned under the microscope lens for observation.

Under a low power objective, the letter "e" would appear larger and more defined compared to a higher magnification. It may appear clearer and easier to discern the details of the letter.
If you completely lose focus while viewing a specimen under high power, you should first move the fine adjustment knob in both directions to try and regain focus. If that doesn't work, switch back to a lower magnification objective lens, refocus the specimen, and then switch back to the high power objective to try focusing again.
when viewing objects under high-power, the field of view is smaller, but you are able to see more details.

The total magnification is 40x. 10x is the lens in the eyepiece and the 4x is in the lens in the low powered objective lens. You have to multiply it to get 40x. Hope I helped! ^_^ And, ironically, I'm doing my science homework right now.
The part of the microscope that you put under the slide is called the objective lens. This lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen on the slide for viewing.
