⚠ Object is inside or at the objective focal point — no real intermediate image forms. Move the object further from the objective lens.
Objective Magnification (M₁)
—
v₁ / u — inverted real image
Eyepiece Magnification (M₂)
—
Acts as simple magnifier
Total Magnification
—
M₁ × M₂
Intermediate Image (v₁)
—
Distance past objective
Final Image (v₂)
—
Negative = virtual (correct)
Near Point Formula (D=250mm)
