Look at your hand - 'end-on' and you see five finger-tips. The effect of the magnifying lens is to 'discard' the fingers to the left and right, and enlarge the image that remains in the center of the field of view.

A microscope with only one lens is call what?
A simple microscope an electron microscope is one that uses the focus of electron beams instead of regular light from lenses. It allowed scientists to discover new germ cells, bacteria, and eventually viruses. the simple microscope was invented in 1600s
What is the white circular area that you see in the microscope?
it some thing on the lens im sure what its called but it marks the middle =)
Why did Zacharias Janssen invent the microscope?
The simplest answer is that they were created to see things, or details, that are too small for the human eye to see. Early tradesmen used simple lenses to see the intricate lines of engravings, or the clasps and fittings on jewelry. When eyeglass makers began combining pairs of carefully-ground lenses, they discovered the principle of optical magnification that is the basis for the microscope (and the telescope). In the case of the microscope, there were immediate practical applications in biology, anatomy, and miniature mechanical gearing.
When did Zacharias Janssen invent the compound microscope?
Hans Janssen and his son Zacharias Janssen, Dutch spectacle-makers, are frequently cited as having invented the first compound microscope in 1590, but there is a good deal of dispute. They may not have. Zacharias Janssen was the one who actually made the claim, and in the middle of the 1600's. A number of historians, however, agree that it is imporbable that 1590 is correct. There is a good deal of evidence that Zacharias Janssen was born somewhere around 1590. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the optical microscope where a brief history of the device can be reviewed.
Why is it that in a pair of bifocal glasses the converging lens at the bottom and the diverging lens at the top?
It is a split screen usually the bottom part is cut as the (close up) lens the normal or larger part of the lens is normal- depending on whether one needs primarily distance or close-up correction, or for reading. the bottom lens group is usually secondary, not the main task. Franklin invented bifocal eyeglasses. He also devised the lightning rod, Franklin stove and *Long arm, lever device often used in grocery stores.
How does the lens of a light microscope worke?
Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger
What are three things that have been used in a microscope?
Lens, light, mirror
Is magnification the ability to make things larger than what they are?
magnification is the ability to make things larger they they actually are by taking the lens from a microscope or by just using a microscope and magnifying the object.
What is lens of light microscope?
optical microscope
What object is used to light in a light microscope?
Lens
What is An advantage of a compound light microscope over a single lens microscope?
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
What is lens that makes objects look larger called?
there is something in the telescope that helps things appear larger
Why the objective lens of a refracting telescope is much larger than the objective lens of a compound microscope?
A telescope must grasp the light from enormous distances. A microscope's task is to refine tiny images at very close distances.
What type of lens structure is found in a light microscope?
convex lens
Why is the light microscope described as a compound microscope?
it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens. A compound or light microscope has more than one.
What is a high power objective in a microscope?
The high power objective in a microscope is the largest lens in the microscope.
Which one is larger microscope with a 10x optical and a 10x objective?
Well usually a microscope comes with a lens that is 10x and with the lens on the bottom, it will multiply to make the microscope stronger
