I think it's the microscope lens or the objective lens. Hope this helps!

It's called an "OCULAR" according to a microscope supplier site.
The 'object lens' in a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined.
The object being examined is placed directly under the objective lens of a compound microscope. The objective lens is the lens closest to the specimen and is used to magnify the image of the object.
On a microscope with the usual 3-lens turret it is usual to use the objective lens with the lowest magnification to first examine your specimen. This gives a wider overall view of the subject, and will allow you to choose the particular detail that best suits your study. You may then move on to a higher magnification, if necessary, to study finer detail. If you started with the highest magnification, your fine focus will be uncertain, and you risk the front of the objective lens coming into contact with the sample slide. This could damage your specimen, and may damage the front of the lens.
The lens you look through in a telescope, binocular, or microscope is called the eyepiece. It is the lens closest to your eye that magnifies the image produced by the objective lens.
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.
