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.
