Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the lens. What then stops us from using a convex lens of smaller and smaller focal length and achieving greater and greater magnifying power?

Class: Class 12 Subject: Physics Topic: Ray optics and optical Instruments

The convex lens's focal length cannot be reduced by a more significant amount. 

This is because making lenses having tiny focal lengths is not easy. 

Spherical and chromatic aberrations are created by a convex lens having a petite focal length.
