Construction:

 

Both the objective lens and the eyepiece lens are converging lenses.
    Use three colors to carefully construct the rays that form the final image for the object given.
    Carefully label the first image as I₁ and the final image as I₂.

 

Measurements and Analysis:

 

Measure the height of each image, I₁ and  I₂, as well as the original object, O.
    Measure d_i and d_o for each individual lens.
    Calculate the final magnifications for the lens system using the following ratios:

 

M₁ = M_microscope = | I₂ / O |
M₂ = M_microscope = (M_{objective lens} )(M_{eyepiece lens} ) where M_lens = | d_i / d_o |
