Compound Microscope -

m= -frac{v_{o}}{u_{o}}cdot frac{D}{u_{e}}
 

- wherein

v_{o}, and , u_{o} is distance from objective.

u_{e} Distance from eyepiece.

Maximum magnification m= -frac{v_{o}}{u_{0}}left ( 1+frac{D}{f_{e}} 
ight )

 

 

Astronomical Telescope -

m= frac{-f_{o}}{f_{e}}left ( 1+frac{f_{e}}{D} 
ight )
 

- wherein

f_{o} = focal length of objective

f_{e}= focal length of eyepiece

 

 For microscope magnifying power \propto \frac{1}{fo}

For telescope magnifying power \propto fo

\therefore magnifying power of microscope decreases and that of telescope increases
