Hey Do you want to know the difference between Compound Microscope and Astronomical Telescope? If yes. Then you are at the right place.

S.no |
Compound - Microscope | Astronomical - Telescope |
| 1 | It is used to increase visual angle of near tiny object. |
It is used to increase the visual angle of distant large objects. |
| 2 | In it field and eye lense both are convergent, of short focal length and aperture. |
In it objective lens is of large focal length and aperture while eye lens of short focal length and aperture and both are convergent. |
| 3 | Final image is inverted. virtual and enlarged and at a distance $\mathrm{D}$ to $\infty$ from the eye. |
Final image is inverted, virtual and enlarged at a distance $\mathrm{D}$ to $\infty$ from the eye. |
| 4 | MP does not change appreciably if field and eye lens are interchanged $\left[M P \sim\left(L D / f_{0} f_{e}\right)\right]$ |
MP becomes $\left(1 / m^{2}\right)$ times of its initial value if objective and eye-lenses are interchanged as $M P \sim\left[f_{0} / f_{e}\right]$ |
| 5 | $\mathrm{MP}$ is increased by decreasing the focal length of both the lenses. |
$\mathrm{MP}$ is increased by increasing the focal length of objective lens (and by decreasing the focal length of eye-piece. |
| 6 | $\mathrm{RP}$ is increased by decreasing the wavelength of light used. |
$\mathrm{RP}$ is increased by increasing the aperture of objective. |
