Optical microscopes use refractive lenses, typically of glass and occasionally of plastic, to focus light into the eye or another light detector.
hope it helps... kinda

How are lenses used in a microscope?
The simple answer: the lenses focus the light passing through them so that it magnifies what you see. The lens portion of a microscope works just like a magnifying glass, or the lenses in binoculars or telescopes. They also help focus the light in the same way a person with bad vision uses glasses or contacts, to make the image clearer. Note: there are more parts involved then just the lenses in a microscope. However, I am not an expert and cannot say for certain what all is involved.
What instrument that uses light and two or more lenses is used to view cells?
A microscope.
Why are images observed in a light microscope reversed and inverted?
The lenses used reversed the image.
An instrument that uses glass lenses to magnify an object?
a microscope mostly used for to investigate stars and planets in the outer space
Which microscope is used to observe a specimen that emits light when illuminated with an ultra-violet light?
Fluorescent microscope
What general type of microscope used bright illumination and multiple glass lenses?
A compound light microscope.
What instrument uses light and lenses is used to view cells?
An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
What tool is used for seeing it has a tube lenses a stage and a light source?
compound light microscope
Microscope made up of two or more lenses?
Yes, two lenses can make a simple microscope. More are usually used. A magnifying glass - one lens - is the simplest microscope.
What is the function of the lenses on a light microscope?
if its a student microscope, it magnifies 10x if not, it always is used to magnify and its where you put your eye
What knobs are used for focusing the lenses on a microscope?
On a light microscope there is the coarse adjustment knob and the fine adjustment knob
What part reflects the microscope light?
Mirror - It is used to reflect light through the object and lenses of the eye.

The lenses used reversed the image.
What materials were used to build the first microscope?
Telescopes and microscopes were invented around the same time, by connecting pairs of lenses made from curved circles of glass (convex and concave lenses). Opaque tubes are used to limit light coming from outside the connected lenses.
