Question
In which of the following the final image is erect?
(a) Simple microscope
(b) Compound microscope
(c) Astronomical telescope
(d) Galilean telescope
Solution
(a) Simple microscope
(d) Galilean telescope
In a simple microscope, the image formed is virtual and above the axis on the same side of the object. Similarly, in a Galilean telescope, the image formed is virtual, erect and magnified and between the objective lens and the eyepiece. A compound microscope and an astronomical telescope produce inverted images.

| A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses. One of them, of smaller aperture and smaller focal length, is called objective and the other of slightly larger aperture and slightly larger focal length is called eye-piece. Both lenses are fitted in a tube with an arrangement to vary the distance between them. A tiny object is placed in front of the objective at a distance slightly greater than its focal length. The objective produces the image of the object which acts as an object for the eye-piece. The eye-piece, in turn, produces the final magnified image. |
In a compound microscope, the images formed by the objective and the eye-piece are respectively.
