In a compound microscope, the intermediate image is

Avirual, erect and magnified
Breal, erect and magnified
Creal, inverted and magnified
Correct Answer
Dvirtual, erect and reduced

Solution

In a compound microscope, the intermediate image real, inverted and magnified
The compound microscope consists of two optical components (thus the term compound): the objective lens system, which has a very short focal distance and is placed very close to the object; and the ocular or eyepiece system, which has a longer focal length, lower magnification; and which further magnifies and projects the image onto the retina of the eye. The objective lens projects a real image (the intermediate image) of the object up in the body of the microscope onto the objective conjugate image plane or primary image plane

Answer the following questions: (a )The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass provide angular magnification? (b) In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions ones eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back? (c) Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the lens. What then stops us from using a convex lens of smaller and smaller focal length and achieving greater and greater magnifying power? (d) Why must both the objective and the eyepiece of a compound microscope have short focal lengths? (e) When viewing through a compound microscope, our eyes should be positioned not on the eyepiece but a short distance away from it for best viewing. Why? How much should be that short distance between the eye and eyepiece?
