Answer

$0.324mm$

Work Step by Step

We know that $d_i=L-f_{eyepiece}$ $d_i=18.0-2.62=15.38cm$ Now we can find the focal length of the objective as $f_{objective}=-\frac{d_iN}{M_{total}f_{eye\space piece}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f_{objective}=-\frac{(15.38)(25)}{(-4525)(2.62)}$ $f_{objective}=0.324mm$
