A microscope is made to magnify something that is close to the lens.

Since the focus range of the microscope is designed for very close objects.
When you "take a picture" you actually create a plane in space with perfect focus, the more far from that plane objects become fuzzy.
The rate of focus lose is relevant, among other, to the distance from the focal plane relevant to the distance of the focal plane from the viewing object. In microscope the distance is very small and you can notice that when you try to focus the microscope.

A microscope works on the same principles as a telescope. It has to do with optics-specifically the relationship between the size of object lens and the eyepiece and the distance between them. Thats why a telescope has large lens spaced far apart to see things far away. They wouldn't be useful as binoculars for the same reason.

The focal point is closer to the object with a microscope as compared to the focal point of a telescope.,

the microscopes work is to big the picture not to close it ..but telescope get the light from the object through the lense to collect the ray exactly the size of our eys like we are seeing it closely

you need a telescope my dear, to see far away things. A microscope is for small up close things hence the word micr----

Because the focal length of it's lens is a short distance. Objects not within the lens focal length are out of focus.

For one a micro is to measure things right up to the lens, so instead of using a micro. you should use a telescope for it magnifies things much farther away from it!

Same reason you can't look at a bug 3 inches away with
a telescope...
Because you don't have a clue...
