For the microscope to be in focus, how far should the objective lens be from the specimen?

p ≈ f_ objective     Therefore for the object to be in focus it must be close to the focal length

Explanation:

A microscope is an optical instrument that uses two lenses, or a long focal length objective lens that forms a real image of the object and an eyepiece that forms a virtual image of the object. Therefore for the object to be in focus it must be close to the focal length

           p ≈ f_ objective
