It says right on the lens. Look at the side of it, and it will tell you the magnification.

Multiply the magnification of the eyepiece (usually 10x) by the objective ( say 40x)
10 x 40 = 400x
400x is the total magnification

Multiply the magnification of the eye piece (its usually written on it) by the magnification of the lens you choose (its written on this lens, too).

Well, on the side of the lens or lenses of the microscope it should have numbers like 10x 100x etc. If that is not what you wanted to know then I have no idea. Hope that may of helped.

Multiply the ocular lens (lens you look through, usually 10x) by the objective lens (lens on the nosepiece, usually 4x, 10x, or 40x, more powerful have 100x). So magnification would be 40x, 100x, or 400x, (or 1000x).
Good luck!!
