The magnification produced by the objective lens of a compound microscope is 25. The focal length of eye piece is 5 cm and it forms find image at least distance of distinct vision. The magnifying power of the compound microscope is

The two lenses of a compound microscope are of focal lengths 2 cm and 5 cm. If an object is placed at a distance of 2.1 cm from the objective of focal length 2 cm the final image forms at the final image forms at the least distance of distinct vision of a normal eye. Find the magnifying power of the microscope.

A compound microscope consists of an objective lens of focal length 2.0 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 6.25 cm separated by a distance of 15cm. How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain the final image at (a) the least distance of distinct vision (25cm), and (b) at infinity? What is the magnifying power of the microscope in each case?

The least distance of distinct vision is 25 cm. If the focal length of convex lens is 10 cm, it acts as a simple microscope of maximum magnification.

Three thin lenses are combined by placing them in contact with each other to get more magnification in an optical instrement. Each lens has a focal length of 3 cm. If the least distance of distinct vision is taken as 25 cm, the total magnification of the lens combination in normal adjustment is
