Solution

The total magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens (eyepiece) by the magnification of the objective lens.

In this case, the ocular lens has a magnification of 10x and the objective lens is set to 30x.

So, the total magnification is 10x * 30x = 300x.

Therefore, the total magnification of the microscope is 300x.
