Best Answer

A microscope contains one or more glass lenses that refract light that passes through them. Both microscopes and magnifying glasses utilize convex lenses.

What do the lenses on a microscope do to the light as it passes through them - and how does this affect the way an object appears when the light reaches your eye?

The lenses in a microscope diffract (bend) the light as it passes through them. The effect is that an object appears clear and large (is focused and magnified) when the light reaches your eye. Also, microscope designs usually ensure that the object appears right-side-up.


Which component of the microscope is found directly under the stage and contains two sets of lenses that collect and concentrate light as it passes upward from the light source into the lens systems?

Abbe condenser


What do the lenses on a microscope do to the light that passes through them?

The lens in the eye bends the light so that it's focused on the correct part of the retina. The lens needs to focus it just enough so that we have clear focus. If the lens is not doing its job correctly, people have to wear corrective lenses that bend the light enough to compensate for malfunctioning lens.


What is Abbe condenser?

An Abbe condenser is a condenser composed of two lenses which concentrates and controls the light which passes through a specimen before the light enters the objective of a microscope.

Do all lenses refract the light passes through them?

yes


Is the TEM one of the types of a compound microscope?

No, the TEM is a transmission electron microsope which passes a beam of electron particles through an ultra thin specimen in a vacuum producing high magnification. A compound microscope uses ordinary light passed through a series of convex glass lenses with limited magnification.


Which structure controls how much light passes through the specimen in microscope?

The answer to this microscope question is the stage opening.


What is the hollow tube of a microscope through which light passes?

It is called the body tube it is the basic support of the microscope.


What does a diaphargm on a microscope do?

It regulates the amount of light that passes through a specimen.


What is the light microscpe?

A microscope is a device that magnifies very small items so they can be seen and studied. A light microscope does this by using light passed through a slide containing whatever you are trying to look at, then through lenses and mirrors to an eyepiece. another type of microscope is the electron microscope which passes electrons (much smaller then waves of light) through the substance to a reciever that then projects the image onto a computer screen allowing much greater levels of magnification.
