Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A simple compound microscope uses a short focal length objective to provide a larger, inverted real image of the object and a longer focal length eyepiece to magnify the image even further and provide an erect virtual image to the eye. This combination allows for a greater magnification and better resolution of the specimen.
