A compound microscope has an objective lens with a focal length of 2.0 cm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 3.8 cm. If the image produced by the objective is 22 cm from the objective, what magnification does this microscope produce? (Include the sign.)
Solution
Magnification of Objective: -(22-focal length)/focal length =- 20/2 = -10
Magnification of eye-piece: 25/focal length = 25/3.8 = 6.58
Total magnification: -65.8
