vtl-dch Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hello! I have a microscope with a magnification of 180. When I reduce the distance between the lens and the object of observation and increase the distance between the eyepiece and the lens, I get an optical magnification of the microscope 800. I can’t get any more, because the lens rests on the object. Please tell me why the optical magnification is increasing? I use Google translate. Sorry for the incorrect translation.

swansont Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The magnification of a simple telescope/microscope is the ratio of the focal lengths of the objective lens and the eyepiece. If you have a more complicated system, you are changing the effective focal length when you turn the knob. You can change the magnification by changing the eyepiece 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
