When was the first Microscope discoved?

The microscope was not "discovered" (that supposes it already existed but had not been found) but it was made. Quote: "Microscopes trace their history back almost 1200 years with Abbas Ibn Firnas's corrective lenses,[1] and it was Ibn al-Haytham's Book of Optics - written between 1011 and 1021 - that laid the foundation for optical research on the magnifying glass. Also, a device called the reading stone by an unknown inventor (thought to be Ibn Firnas) magnified text when laid on top of reading materials.[2] The first true microscope was made around 1595 in Middelburg, The Netherlands.[3] Three different eyeglass makers have been given credit for the invention: Hans Lippershey (who also developed the first real telescope); Sacharias Jansen; and his son, Zacharias. The coining of the name "microscope" has been credited to Giovanni Faber, who gave that name to Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625.[4] (Galileo had called it the "occhiolino" or "little eye".)" From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope which is pretty trustworthy here.


Objective of NASA?

an objective that i know that nasa has is to find life out side our home planets. like was there once life on mars. or are there other universes. also they have a saying "earth, moon, mars and beyond"


Which parts connect the eye piece to revolving nose piece with the objectives?

Assuming you are asking about a microscope (your question is very unclear on the subject), then the body or barrel of the microscope would do this, it would also be the point at which focus movement would be achieved.


Who invented the microscope in 1656-1930?

The first microscope was made around 1595 in Middelburg, Holland. Three different eyeglass makers have been given credit for the invention: Hans Lippershey (who also developed the first real telescope); Hans Janssen; and his son, Zacharias. The coining of the name "microscope" has been credited to Giovanni Faber, who gave that name to Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625. (Galileo had called it the "occhiolino" or "little eye".) The most common type of microscope-and the first to be invented-is the optical microscope. This is an optical instrument containing one or more lenses that produce an enlarged image of an object placed in the focal plane of the lens(es). There are, however, many other microscope designs. "Microscopes" can largely be separated into three classes: optical theory microscopes (Light microscope), electron microscopes (e.g.,TEM), and scanning probe microscopes (SPM). Optical theory microscopes are microscopes which function through the optical theory of lenses in order to magnify the image generated by the passage of a wave through the sample. The waves used are either electromagnetic (in optical microscopes) or electron beams (in electron microscopes). The types are the Compound Light, Stereo, and the electron microscope.

Is the objective lens and a microscope also called the eyepiece?

No, the objective lens of a microscope, a telescope, or a camera is at the end nearest the object being observed - that is why it is named the objective lens.


Which part of an optical microscope contains the magnifying lens?

The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains two lens systems, the objective lens composed of one or several lenses that magnify the image of the object being examined, and the ocular lens at the eyepiece end. The magnification of the microscope depends on the focal lengths of the two lens systems.


Part of the microscope made up of 2 or more lens?

The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains the ocular lens, also called the eyepiece lends, and the objective lens system which consists of one or more lenses.

The eyepiece is the lens at the top of the microscope that you look in to see the magnified image of your specimen. The eyepiece also magnifies, usually 10x.

What is the function of an eyepiece lens on a microscope?

Eyepiece is the lens through which we observe the specimen in a microscope. It multiplies and adjusts the magnification of the objective lenses. Sometimes, it even corrects aberrations of the objective lens.


What happens if you decrease a telescopes eyepiece focal length?

The magnification of the telescope image is(focal length of the objective) divided by (focal length of the eyepiece).The focal length of the objective is fixed.Decreasing the focal length of the eyepiece increases the magnification of the image.(But it also makes the image dimmer.)
