Divide the apparent diameter -- that is, the actual diameter of the organelle as it appears on the page; use a ruler -- by 5E-7. The resulting quotient is the magnification multiplier. Note that 5 micrometers = 0.5E-6 meter (m) = 5E-7 = 5 x 10-7 = 0.0000005 m.

Is it possible to see the cell bodies of individual neurons?

Not with the unaided eye it isn't. You really need at least 250 x magnification to see features of a typical neuron (20 or so micrometers in diameter).
