Which of the following statements is/are INCORRECT about a compound microscope? Correct Answer Only 2

CONCEPT:

Compound microscope:

  • A compound microscope is an optical device used to see magnified images of tiny objects.
  • A good quality compound microscope can produce a magnification of the order of 1000.
  • It has two convex lenses- one of them is called as the objective lens and the other one is known as the eyepiece


EXPLANATION:

  • The focal length of the eyepiece lens is larger than the focal length of the objective lens. So statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect.
  • The aperture of the eyepiece lens is larger than the objective lens. So statement 3 is correct.
