Q. Assertion: Microscope magnifies the image.
Reason: Angular magnification for image is more than object in microscope.

AIIMSAIIMS 2011Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

Solution:

Microscope is an optical instrument which forms a magnified image of a small nearby object and thus, increases the visual angle subtended by the image at the eye so that the object is seen to be bigger and distinct. Therefore angular magnification for image is more than object.
