Visual angle and magnification
Size of object as sensed by eye is determined the angle subtended by the object atthe eye. This angle is called visual angle.
For a body of certain size, a large visual angle is subtended by it when it is close tothe eye than when it is far away from eye. A larger visual angle enables us to lookinto the details of the object and this is called magnification.

A simple microscope consists of a single convex lens.
Object is located between focal point and optic centre.
An enlarged, virtual and erect image of object is formed by the lens.
Visual angle subtended by image ( formed at near point ) is more than the visualsubtended by object ( if located at near point).

Magnification
Using lens formula

1 1 1 =

1 1m = v
v f
When image is formed atnear point, v = D therefore
1 1m = D

m = f

From the figure, angularmagnification can be obtainedusing visual angle subtendedby object and the image.

Magnification at near point is 1 more than the magnification at infinity.
Eye is more relaxed when the image is formed at infinity and this situation ispreferred.

Magnification at infinity
Magnification of a simple microscope is limited by the focal length of lens. Lesserfocal length leads to larger magnification. However lesser focal length requiressmaller radius of curvature which in turn leads to reduced size of aperture andincrease in aberration.
Due to this limitation a combination of lenses is used to obtain largemagnification. This combination is called compound microscope.

Compound microscope( construction )
It consists of twoconvex lens placedcoaxially.
Lens closer to objectis called objective
Lens closer to eye iscalled eyepiece.
Objective is of smallfocal length andaperture.
Eyepiece is of largefocal length andaperture.
Distance between objective and eyepiece can be adjusted using rack-pinionarrangement.

It consists of two convex lensplaced coaxially.
Lens facing the object is calledobjective
Lens closer to eye is calledeyepiece.
Objective is of large focallength and aperture.
Eyepiece is of small focallength and aperture.
Distance between objectiveand eyepiece is adjusted usingrack-pinion adjustment.

Image (A’B’) formed byobjective is in the focal planeof objective
This image (A’B’) acts as anobject for the eyepiece.
