Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A compound microscope uses a combination of an objective lens and an eyepiece lens to magnify the image. The objective lens produces a real, inverted image of the specimen, which is then magnified by the eyepiece lens to produce a virtual, magnified image that is closer to the eye. Therefore, the eyepiece forms a virtual image from the objective lens as the object and forms a virtual image.
