Ans. In a compound microscope, the linear maginfication (mo) provided by objective lens is given by:
mo= - L/fo
where L: length of tube
fo: focal length of objective lens
The enlarged image formed by objective lens is viewed with eye-piece acts like a simple magnifier lens whose angular magnification (me) is given by:
me= 25/fe
So, total maginfication
(m) = mex mo= - 25L/fofe
From above equation its is clear that to get maximum magnification the short focal length of objective and eye piece lens are needed.
