What type of lens does a light microscope use?
Concave
Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?
They use convex lenses because they need to focus the light IN to the eye. Convex focuses in while concave spreads the light out. So, they use convex lenses.
How do you use concave lens in a sentence?
A concave lens is thinner at the centre. People who are short sighted often use a concave lens to help them see better.
What kind of lens use in microscope?
ocular lens
What type of lenses you use to build a microscope?
you use two convex lenses.
What kind of lens does a projector use?
projector have concave or convex
To magnify an object would you use a convex lens or a concave lens?
You would use a convex lens.
What type of lens does the watch repairer use is it convex or concave?
Convex Lens
Can a Concave lens be use as an eyepiece in a microscope?
Concave lenses are used in the eyepieces of microscopes. However, they are not used alone on the eyepiece, but are joined in a concave-convex combination to prevent internal reflections.
Would you use a convex lens or a concave lens to magnify an object?
Magnifying glasses use convex lenses
List two uses for concave lens?
Both concave and convex lenses are used in glasses; A microscope, like a reflecting telescope, uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens; A refracting telescope uses two convex lenses to magnify images in the sky; binoculars use concave lenses to improve detail.
What type of lens does a light microscope use?
Concave
Does a movie projector use a concave lens?
No, a movie projector uses a convex lens.
Which lens is a converging lens a double-convex lens or a spherical-convex lens or a plano-concave lens or a convexo-concave lens?
Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.
You want to manignify a butterfly so that you can see the colorful scales on its wings what would you use a concave lens or a convex lens?
i guess it doesnt really matter. my magnifying glass is a convex lens so yaaaa. well that's all i got cuz this website don't even no what a concave or convex lens is.
