    Magnification is defined as the power of enlargement. Magnification of compound microscope is the product of magnification of objective lens and magnification of ocular lens.

    Magnification =
    Size of the image with the instrument
    Size of the image with the unaided eye

    Objective lens × Ocular lens
    40 x 10 x
    Magnification = 400 times.
