Question

What is Magnifying Power of Compound Microscope?

Answer

Magnifying Power of Compound Microscope - Magnification produced by the compound microscope is given by m = v/u(D/f_e) For relaxed eye, M_∞ = -v₀/u₀(D/F_e) and length of microscope L_∞ = v₀ + f_e when final image is formed at least distance of distance of distinct vision, then [M_D = -v₀/u₀(1 + D/f_e)] and length of microscope, L_D = v₀ + u_e Where, v₀ = Distance of first image from objective lens u₀ = Distance of object from objective lens f_e = Focal length of eyepiece.
