What is the difference between simple Microscope, compound microscope and Astronomical telescope?

Although both instruments magnify objects so that the human eye can see them, a microscope looks at things very near, while telescopes view things very far away. Microscopes are commonly found in laboratories, often used by biologists and chemists, while telescopes are found in observatories, most often used by astronomers.

(See fig 1st)
It is used for observing magnified images of objects. It is consists of a converging lens of small focal length.
Magnifying Power
(i) When final image is formed at least distance of distinct vision (D), then M=1+d/f
where, f= focal length of the lens.
(ii) When final image is formed at infinity, then M = D/f
(See fig. 2nd)
It is a combination of two convex lenses called objective lens and eye piece separated by a distance. Both lenses are of small focal lengths but fo < fe, where fo and feare focal lengths of objective lens and eye piece respectively
Magnifying Power
M = vo / uo {1 + (D/fo)
Where vo= distance of image, formed by objective lens and
uo = distance of object from the objective
(ii) When final image is formed at infinity, then
M = vo/uo . D/fe
(See fig. 3rd)
It is also a combination of two lenses, called objective lens and eye piece, separated by a distance. It is used for observing distinct images of heavenly bodies like stars, planets etc
Magnifying Power
(i) When final image is formed at least distance of distinct vision (D), then M = fo/fe {1+ (D/fe)} where foand fe are focal lengths of objective and eyepiece respectively.
Length of the telescope (L) = (fo + ue)
where, ue = distance of object from the eyepiece.
(ii) When final image is formed at infinity, then M = fo/fe
Length of the telescope (L) = fo + fe
For large magnifying power of a telescope fo should be large and feshould be small.
For large magnifying power of a microscope; fo < fe should be small.
