Which one among the following is used in a simple microscope ?
A.Diverging lens
B.Concave mirror
C.Converging lens✓ Correct
D.Plane mirror
Explanation
A simple microscope uses a converging (convex) lens of short focal length to produce a magnified, virtual, erect image of a small object placed within its focal length. The converging lens acts as a magnifying glass. Diverging lenses always produce diminished images, while mirrors are not used as the principal magnifying element in a simple microscope.
