- When using a two lens optical system, the magnification of the final image is calculated by multiplying the magnifications of each individual lens. - To calculate the image from the first lens, treat it as the object for the second lens. The object distance for the second lens is the distance from the first lens' image to the second lens. - A two converging lens system will produce a real, upright final image, while a converging-diverging system will produce a virtual, inverted final image.
