Question
Can the image formed by a simple microscope be projected on a screen without using any additional lens or mirror?

Solution
The image formed by a simple microscope is virtual and erect. So, it cannot be projected on a screen without using any additional lens or mirror.

| 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. |
