Explain working of a compound microscope.

A compound microscope has multiple lenses: the objective lens (typically 4x, 10x, 40x, or 100x) is compounded (multiplied) by the eyepiece lens (typically 10x) to obtain a high magnification of 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x. Higher magnification is achieved by using two lenses rather than just a single magnifying lens. The length of the compound microscope formula is L = V_o + Df_e / D + f_e.

What are the uses of a compound microscope ?

A compound microscope is used for viewing samples at high magnification (40 - 1000x), which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens (in the eyepiece) and the objective lenses (close to the sample).

How to Calculate Length of a compound microscope?

Length of a compound microscope calculator uses Length of the microscope=Distance between two lenses+(Least distance of the distinct vision*Focal length of an eyepiece)/(Least distance of the distinct vision+Focal length of an eyepiece) to calculate the Length of the microscope, The length of a compound microscope is defined as the distance from the nosepiece opening, where the objective is mounted, to the top edge of the observation tubes where the eyepieces (oculars) are inserted. Length of the microscope and is denoted by L symbol.

How to calculate Length of a compound microscope using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of a compound microscope, enter Least distance of the distinct vision (D), Focal length of an eyepiece (f_e) and Distance between two lenses (V₀) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of a compound microscope calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6.666667 = 0.05+(0.1*0.02)/(0.1+0.02).

FAQ

What is Length of a compound microscope?

The length of a compound microscope is defined as the distance from the nosepiece opening, where the objective is mounted, to the top edge of the observation tubes where the eyepieces (oculars) are inserted and is represented as L=V₀+(D*f_e)/(D+f_e) or Length of the microscope=Distance between two lenses+(Least distance of the distinct vision*Focal length of an eyepiece)/(Least distance of the distinct vision+Focal length of an eyepiece). The least distance of the distinct vision (LDDV) is the closest someone with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can comfortably look at something, The focal length of an eyepiece is the distance from the principal plane of the eyepiece where parallel rays of light converge to a single point and Distance between two lenses is the length at which two lenses are placed.

How to calculate Length of a compound microscope?

The length of a compound microscope is defined as the distance from the nosepiece opening, where the objective is mounted, to the top edge of the observation tubes where the eyepieces (oculars) are inserted is calculated using Length of the microscope=Distance between two lenses+(Least distance of the distinct vision*Focal length of an eyepiece)/(Least distance of the distinct vision+Focal length of an eyepiece). To calculate Length of a compound microscope, you need Least distance of the distinct vision (D), Focal length of an eyepiece (f_e) and Distance between two lenses (V₀). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Least distance of the distinct vision, Focal length of an eyepiece and Distance between two lenses and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Length of the microscope?

In this formula, Length of the microscope uses Least distance of the distinct vision, Focal length of an eyepiece and Distance between two lenses. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Length of the microscope=Distance between two lenses+Focal length of an eyepiece
