Q. The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is

(1 + \frac{D}{f}) .

A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power

(1 + \frac{D}{f_{o}}) (1 + \frac{D}{f_{e}}) ?

In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?
