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?

`v_(e)=-25cm and f_(e)=6.25cm" give "u_(e)=-5cm, v_(o)=(15-5)cm=10cm`.
`f_(o)=u_(o)=-2.5cm," Magnifying power = 20"`
(b) `u_(o)=-2.59cm.`
Magnifying power `=13.5`.

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 object lens of focal length 2 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. When an object is placed at 2.2 cm from the object lens, the final image is at 25 cm from the eye lens. What is the distance between the lenses ? What is the total linear magnification ?

A microscope consists of an objective of focal length 1.9 cm and eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. The two lenses are kept at a distance of 10.5 cm. If the image is to be formed at the least distance of distinct vision, the distance at which the object is to be placed before the objective is (least distance of distinct vision is 25 cm)
