M = (1+D/f_e)*V₀/U₀
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Magnifying Power - Magnifying Power or the extent to which the object being viewed appears enlarged is related by the geometry of the optical system.
Least Distance of Distinct Vision - (Measured in Meter) - The Least Distance of Distinct Vision (LDDV) is the closest someone with "normal" vision (20/20 vision) can comfortably look at something.
Focal Length of Eyepiece - (Measured in Meter) - The Focal Length of Eyepiece is the distance from the principal plane of the eyepiece where parallel rays of light converge to a single point.
Distance between Two Lens - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Two Lens is the length at which two lenses are placed.
Object Distance - (Measured in Meter) - The Object Distance is the length between the object and lens.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Least Distance of Distinct Vision: 25 Centimeter --> 0.25 Meter (Check conversion here)
Focal Length of Eyepiece: 4 Centimeter --> 0.04 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance between Two Lens: 5 Centimeter --> 0.05 Meter (Check conversion here)
Object Distance: 12.5 Centimeter --> 0.125 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M = (1+D/f_e)*V₀/U₀ --> (1+0.25/0.04)*0.05/0.125

Evaluating ... ...

M = 2.9

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.9 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.9 <-- Magnifying Power

Length of Compound Microscope

Go Length of Microscope = Distance between Two Lens+(Least Distance of Distinct Vision*Focal Length of Eyepiece)/(Least Distance of Distinct Vision+Focal Length of Eyepiece)

Magnifying Power of Compound Microscope at Infinity

Go Magnifying Power = (Distance between Two Lens*Least Distance of Distinct Vision)/(Object Distance*Focal Length of Eyepiece)

Magnifying Power of Compound Microscope

Go Magnifying Power = (1+Least Distance of Distinct Vision/Focal Length of Eyepiece)*Distance between Two Lens/Object Distance

Magnification of Eyepiece when Image Formed at Least Distance of Distinct Vision

Go Magnification of Eyepiece = Magnifying Power*((Object Distance+Focal Length of Objective)/Focal Length of Objective)

Magnification of Objective Lens when Image Formed at Least Distance of Distinct Vision

Go Magnification of Objective Lens = Magnifying Power/(1+Least Distance of Distinct Vision/Focal Length of Eyepiece)

Length of Compound Microscope when Image Forms at Infinity

Go Length of Microscope = Distance between Two Lens+Focal Length of Eyepiece

Magnifying Power of Compound Microscope Formula

Magnifying Power = (1+Least Distance of Distinct Vision/Focal Length of Eyepiece)*Distance between Two Lens/Object Distance
M = (1+D/f_e)*V₀/U₀

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. Its magnification formula is M_∞ = V₀D / U₀f_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).
