Question
Answer the following questions: When viewing through a compound microscope, our eyes should be positioned not on the eyepiece but a short distance away from it for best viewing. Why? How much should be that short distance between the eye and eyepiece?
✓

Answer

The image of the objective of the eyepiece is called exit aperture. All the rays coming from the object pass through the exit aperture after refraction from the objective. Therefore, this is an ideal condition for seeing with our eyes. If we keep our eyes too close to the eyepiece, the eyepiece will not be able to receive much light and the area of vision will also reduce. If we place our eyes on the exit aperture and the area of the pupil of our eye is greater than or equal to the area of the exit aperture, then our eyes will capture all the rays refracted from the objective. The exact location of the aperture generally depends on the distance between the objective and the eyepiece. When we look through a microscope by placing our eye on one end of it, the ideal distance between the eye and the eyepiece is inherent in the design of the instrument.

For a normal eye, the far point is at infinity and the near point of distinct vision is about 25 cm in front of the eye. The cornea of the eye provides a converging power of about 40 dioptres, and the least converging power of the eye-lens behind the cornea is about 20 dioptres. From this rough data estimate the range of accommodation (i.e., the range of converging power of the eye-lens) of a normal eye.
