1 Total magnification is the product of the eyepiece and the power of the zoom objective. Example: (16x eyepiece) * (0.63x - 4.0x objective) = 10x to 64x. In gemmology the figure 10x of the total microscope magnification is used for diamond grading. Therefore most microscopes are equipped with 16x eyepieces. It's a simple intention if starting with 10x total magnification to get a higher magnification at the end of typical 64x (instead of 6.3x - 40x with 10x eyepieces).

2 The field at 10x total magnification is the diameter in mm of the microscopes picture viewed by the observer. It's a quality feature of the eyepiece and the objectives. Typical range is 20-25mm at 10x depending on the manufacturer of the optical system. Of course at 6.3x the field is much wider (63mm) than at 64x (4mm).
