प्रश्न
The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is `(1+D/f).` A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power `(1+D/f_0)(1+D/f_0)`?In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?
उत्तर
In a simple microscope, the converging lens is used to magnify the object. It is done by the eyepiece in a compound microscope. But the purpose of the objective lens is the same, i.e., to form an enlarged, real and inverted image of the object at a distance less than the focal length of the eyepiece. So, its magnification power cannot be expressed in a way it is expressed for a simple microscope.

An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22 mm when the object is placed at 25 cm from the eye.
