19. A compound microscope is an optical instrument used for observing highly magnified
images of tiny objects. Magnifying power of a compound microscope is defined as the
ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle subtended at the
eye by the object, when both the final image and the object are situated at the least
distance of distinct vision from the eye. It can be given that : m = me #mo , where me is
magnification produced by eye lens and mo , is magnification produced by objective
lens. Consider a compound microscope that consists of an objective lens of focal

20. The lens maker’s formula relates the focal length of a lens to the refractive index of
the lens material and the radii of curvature of its two surfaces. This formula is called so
because it is used by manufacturers to design lenses of required focal length from a glass
of given refractive index.If the object is placed at infinity, the image will be formed at focus
for both double convex lens and double concave lens. Therefore, lens maker’s formula is,

distinct images of heavenly bodies libe stars, planets etc. It consists of two lenses. In
normal adjustment of telescope, the final image is formed at infinity. Magnifying
power of an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment is defined as the ratio of the
angle subtended at the eye by the angle subtended at the eye by the final image to the
angle subtended at the eye, by the object directly, when the final image and the
object both lie at infinite distance from the eye. It is given by,
m f= fe 0.To increase magnifying power of an astronomical telescope in normal
