CASE STUDY
12. A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses. One of I.hem, of
s malle1· ape1·llu·e and s maller focal le ngth is called objective and lhe other of
slightly largel' apertul'e and slightly larger focal length is called eye-piece.
Both the lenses are fitted in a tube with an al'l'angemcnt to vary the dit1lancc
between t he m . A tiny objec t is plnced in front of the objective nt a dis tonce
slightly Jrroator t.han its focal len~rth . The object ive produces t he image of tbe
object which acts as an object for the eye-piece. The eye piece, in tw·n
pt·oduces the final magnified image. l x 5=6

the two lenses.
(C) The distance between the two lenses is more than (fo + fe).
(D) The microscope can be used as a telescope by intercha nging the two
lenses.
