Working Principle of the Compound MicroscopeCompound microscopes have a combination of lenses that enhances both magnifying powers as well as the resolving power.
Magnification of compound microscopeIn order to ascertain the total magnification when viewing an image with a compound light microscope, take the power of the objective lens which is at 4x, 10x or 40x and multiply it by the power of the eyepiece which is typically 10x. Therefore, a 10x eyepiece used with a 40X objective lens will produce a magnification of 400X. The naked eye can now view the specimen at magnification 400 times greater and so microscopic details are revealed. Alternatively, the magnification of the compound microscope is given by: m = D/ fo * L/fe where, D = Least distance of distinct vision (25 cm) Parts of a Compound MicroscopeEyepiece And Body Tube.
