What Is Simple Microscope?
A simple microscope is a magnifying glass that has a double convex lens with a short focal length. The examples of this kind of instrument include the hand lens and reading lens. When an object is kept near the lens, then its principal focus with an image is produced, which is erect and bigger than the original object. The formed image is virtual and cannot be projected on a screen like a real image.
