Ocular
AnswerOcular Lens is another name for the eyepiece of a compound microscope.
It's called an "OCULAR" according to a microscope supplier site.
The eyepiece of a microscope is called the ocular lens. It is the lens closest to the eye of the viewer and is responsible for magnifying the image produced by the objective lens. The ocular lens typically has a magnification power of 10x, and when combined with the magnification power of the objective lens, it determines the total magnification of the microscope.
Objects do not get new names because you are looking at them through a microscope; if you put a hair under a microscope, then it is still a hair when you look at it. Microscopes are often used to look at cells, bacteria, pollen, minerals, etc. You can look at lots of things. The names do not change. Cells are still cells, when examined under a microscope.
The word "lens" comes from the Latin word "lentil," which is a legume that has a similar shape to a double-convex lens. This resemblance led to the term "lens" being used to describe the optic device.
The low power objective lens on a microscope is also known as the scanning lens.
