yup. Between the 20X eyepiece I use for everything microbial and the 100X oil immersion stage, max total magnification is 2000X. That's not enough to see viruses, but it's far more than sufficient to see bacteria. To be honest, I find that one stage down (40X) with the 20X eye pieces (so 800X total) is the best to see if anything in there is living and swimming around. You'd really only need the 2000X if you were doing detailed cellular analysis and to honest I don't think the optics on my microscope are good enough enough for that, not without some sophisticated staining at least.
