Chapter 2.1, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
The focal length of a system is the distance between the center of the curved mirror or a lens and its focus. In microscopy, this term refers to the amount of distance which is required between the top surface of the object or sample and the objective lens, so as to view the image through the microscope that is in-focus.
