Position of the image, I1. |
At the principle focus of object lens, fo. |
Nature of the image, I2 |
Virtual, inverted and smaller in size. |
Distance in between the two lens |
- The distance between the object lens and the eye lens in a compound microscope is equal to the sum of the focal length (fo + fe).
- If the distance between both lenses are bigger than (fo + fe), no image can be seen.
