Solution
i. Compound microscope
ii. Scientifically and technically correct figure.
(Object, Objective lens, Eye piece, Image)
iii. Magnification is obtained by the combined effect of two
lenses. The magnification occurs in two stages. The image formed by the first lens acts as the object for the second lens. Clear image can be obtained by adjusting the distance between two lenses.
iv. To study small sized objects like blood cells, animal and plant
cells, bacteria.
v. Any relevant remedy (For example, Selection of lens with
appropriate focal length)
