An optical instrument uses a lens of power 100D for objective lens and 50D for its eyepiece. When the tube length is kept at 25cm, the final image is formed at infinity.
(a) Identify the optical instrument.
(b) Calculate the magnification produced by the instrument.
Solution:  
(a) The instrument is called compound microscope.
(b) Power of objective =PO=100D
