forms a virtual, enlarged image of the specimen
gathers light from a distant object to form a real image
forms a real, enlarged image of the specimen
gathers light from a distant object to form a virtual image

forms a real, enlarged image of the specimen.

Why doesn’t any light escape from the sides of an optical fiber?

because the angle of incidence is 180°
because the angle of incidence is so small
because the angle of incidence is 90°
because the angle of incidence is so large

because the angle of incidence is so small.
