When viewing through a compound microscope , our eyes should be positioned not on the eyepiece but a short distance away from if for best viewing . Why ? How much should be the short distance between the eye and the eyepiece ? |
| Answer» Solution :The light rays coming from an object , after refraction through the eyepiece of the compound microscope passes through a SMALL circular region. If we place our eyes in this region , the image is viewed distinctly . Thisregion is the eye ring or exit ring . If we place our very near to the eyepiece , some of the refracted RAY would not reach the eye and field of viewwould DECREASES. Obviously the RIGHT position of the ring DEPENDS on the distance between the objective and eyepiece of the microscope. | |
