Question
A simple microscope using a single lens often shows coloured image of a white source. Why?
✓
Answer
A simple microscope consists of a single convex lens. Sometimes due to chromatic and spherical aberrations, the image of a white source seems coloured at the corners of the lens and somewhere in between.
