In the sign convention for magnification, a concave lens produces a negative magnification, indicating that the image is virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. Conversely, a convex lens can produce either positive or negative magnification depending on the object's position; it yields a positive magnification for real and inverted images when the object is beyond the focal point and a negative magnification for virtual and upright images when the object is within the focal length.

Is a microscope convex or a concave?

A microscope typically uses a convex lens to focus light and magnify an image. The convex lens converges light rays to produce a magnified image, whereas a concave lens would diverge light rays and not be suitable for magnification in a microscope.

What do convex and concave lens do?

A convex lens converges light rays to a focal point, used to correct hyperopia (farsightedness) or create magnification in optical devices. A concave lens diverges light rays, used to correct myopia (nearsightedness) or reduce image size in optical systems.
