प्रश्न
You are given the following three lenses. Which two lenses will you use as an eyepiece and as an objective to construct a compound microscope?
| Lenses | Power (D) | Aperture (cm) |
| L1 | 3 | 8 |
| L2 | 6 | 1 |
| L3 | 10 | 1 |

उत्तर
For a compound microscope, an objective is so chosen that its aperture is small and focal length is very small whereas an eyepiece is so chosen that its aperture is large and focal length is moderate. Now,
focal length of L1, f1 = 1/3 = 0.33 m
focal length of L2, f2 = 1/6 = 0.166 m
focal length of L3, f3 = 1/10 = 0.1 m
Therefore, from the above calculation of focal length and given aperture, it shows that L1 will be suitable for eyepiece and L3 for objective.

Justify your answer in each case.
With the help of a ray diagram, show how a compound microscope forms a magnified image of a tiny object, at least distance of distinct vision. Hence derive an expression for the magnification produced by it.
| A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses. One of them, of smaller aperture and smaller focal length, is called objective and the other of slightly larger aperture and slightly larger focal length is called eye-piece. Both lenses are fitted in a tube with an arrangement to vary the distance between them. A tiny object is placed in front of the objective at a distance slightly greater than its focal length. The objective produces the image of the object which acts as an object for the eye-piece. The eye-piece, in turn, produces the final magnified image. |
In a compound microscope, the images formed by the objective and the eye-piece are respectively.
The focal lengths of the objective and the eye-piece of a compound microscope are 1.0 cm and 2.5 cm respectively. Find the tube length of the microscope for obtaining a magnification of 300.
