Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X powers. When coupled with a 10X (most common) eyepiece lens, we get total magnifications of 40X (4X times 10X), 100X , 400X and 1000X. To have good resolution at 1000X, you will need a relatively sophisticated microscope with an Abbe condenser. The shortest lens is the lowest power, the longest one is the lens with the greatest power. Lenses are color coded and if built to DIN standards are interchangeable between microscopes. The high power objective lenses are retractable (i.e. 40XR). This means that if they hit a slide, the end of the lens will push in (spring loaded) thereby protecting the lens and the slide. All quality microscopes have achromatic, parcentered, parfocal lenses.

RE:
If the objective lens is 10X, what is the total magnification of the microscope?

That depends on the magnification of the ocular lens... usually it's between 5X and 10X... with most common microscopes being 10X.
So, to find total magnifaction, you multiple both lenses together
Ocular Lens magnification X Objective Lens Magnification = Total Magnifcation
So, if your ocular lens was 10X, the answer would be
10X x 10X = 100X
Double check with your instructor what magnification your microscope's ocular lens magnification is, and you should be set.

You have to multiply the 10X of the objective lens -- the one close to the object you're viewing -- by the power of the lens near your eye. So, say the upper lens is 10X also, then the total magnification is 100X (shows the object 100 times its normal size).

If 10x it means that you enlarged the object 10 times bigger
