A compound microscope is an instrument which consists of two lenses `L_1 and L_2`. The lens `L_1` called objective, forms a real, inverted and magnified image of the given object. This serves as the object for the second lens `L_2`, the eye piece. The eye piece functions like a simple microscope or magnifier. It produces the final image, which is inverted with respect to the original object, enlarged and virtual.
What is the value and sign of magnification (according to the new Cartesian sign convention) of the image formed by `L_1` ?

A

Value= Less than 1 and Sign = Positive

B

Value = More than 1 and Sign = Positive

C

Value = Less than 1 and Sign = Negative

D

Value = More than 1 and Sign = Negative
