Which lens of the compound microscope creates real, inverted and bigger image?
Objective
A compound microscope uses two converging lenses: the objective (short focal length, near the specimen) and the eyepiece (near the eye).
The specimen is placed just beyond the focal point of the objective, so the objective forms a real, inverted and magnified image inside the tube.
The eyepiece then acts as a simple magnifier on this intermediate image and produces a final virtual, further enlarged image; it does not create a real image.
Focal length and focal plane are properties of a lens, not lenses of the microscope.
Hence, the lens that forms a real, inverted and enlarged image is the objective.
