A simple microscope consists of two lenses. The object is just placed outside of the focal length of an objective lens with f = 5.00 mm. The focal length of the eyepiece is f = 30.00 mm. The microscope is being used to image an object with a size of .30 mm.
A) What is the angular size of the object when observed with the naked eye at 0.30 m (assume this is greater than the near point of the observer). Give your answer in radians.
B) How far from the lens should the object be placed so that the image from the objective will be 0.40 m from the objective lens?
C) How far from this image should the eyepiece be placed so as to make a virtual image .30 m from the eyepiece lens?
D) What is the approximate overall magnitude of the linear magnification of the microscope?
E) What is the overall angular magnification?
