Hello Chetan!
You might be well aware of the principles of ray optics.
So, you must have come across the types of images formed by different optical objects like plane mirror, concave mirror, convex mirror, convex lens, concave lens etc.
The objective lens (being convex in nature, with a small focal length and small aperture) of a compound light microscope forms real, inverted and enlarged image of the object. That image acts as an object for the eye piece (or the ocular), which also is convex in nature, but with a moderate focal length and moderate aperture.
The eyepiece forms a virtual, erect and further magnified image of the object.
Hope this answer helps you.

Hello,
The image formed by objective lens of compound microscope is real and enlarged , while final image formed by compound microscope is inverted, virtual, enlarged and at a distance D to infinite or from an eye, on same side of eye piece
Hope this was helpful.
