What are some ways using convex and concave lenses to form an image that is smaller than the object?

For forming a smaller image than the object using convex and concave lenses, you can place the object closer to the convex lens than its focal length, then position a concave lens closer to the convex lens than the sum of their focal lengths. This arrangement will produce a smaller inverted image. Adjustments can be made by changing the distances between the lenses to fine-tune the size and position of the image.
