What is the lens that is closest to the eye in a light microscope?

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.

How many lenses does the light pass through between the light source and your eye?
how does light effect your eye? In a compound light microscope? The light passes through three lenses between the light source and your eye. The first lens is the condenser lens.. The second lens is the objective lens. The third and final lens is the Eyepiece, also known as, the ocular lens. This is the lens you look through. These are the lenses that light must pass through to get from the light source to your eye.
Does a compound microscope have one lens?
Most microscopes have 4 to 5 lenses. The lenses are:The three Objects (which are the three things that you use to microscope)The lens that you you put your on.And the mirror lens.

The parts and functions of the parts of a microscope?
Arm = supports top part of microscope Base = the part the microscope stands on Lens turret= a rotating support for the objective lenses objective lens or lenses are those closest to the object being viewed. Their degree of magnification is usually marked on the side of the lens, eg. 100x magnifies the object 100 times. The longer the lens, the greater its magnifying power. Eyepiece (or ocular lens) = This is the lens closest to the eye and its magnifying power is generally marked on the side. To determine the total magnifying power of a compound microscope, multiply the power of the ocular lens with the power of the objective lens. For example, a 10x ocular with a 100x objective would give a total magnification of 1000. A microscope may also have a binocular eyepiece with a lens for each eye. Stage Clip= holds the glass slide which contains a specimen to be viewed. Stage- holds the specimen. Coarse adjustment knob- makes large adjustments to the focus of the lenses. Fine adustment knob- makes small adjustments to the focus of the lenses Below the stage is located either a mirror or an electric light which directs light through the specimen on the stage.
What is the name of the lens closest to your eye in a microscope?
It's called an "OCULAR" according to a microscope supplier site.

What is the lens you look through on a microscope?
an eye piece lens
What path does light take as it travels through the microscope?
For a compound microscope iss; light source, diaphragm, stage, (slide), objective lens, body, eyepiece, eye.
What does an objective lens do to help a microscope function?
A simple microscope has two lenses. One the eye looks through and the objective lens nearest the object being observed. Changing the objective lens changes the magnification of the microscope, and can also change the amount of light on the object. The objective lens draws the light rays together to make a sharp image.
What microscope has an eyepiece lens and an objective lens for each eye?
Jocky
What is the circle of light around the moon or sun?
The "halo" around the sun or moon is caused by refraction from ice crystals high in the stratosphere (which we look through when looking out into space).
What is does a eye piece of a microscope?
Subjective lens and objective lens. Hope it helps :)
What is the objective lens on a microscope?
An optical microscope used in a laboratory would have 3 different types of lenses.They are :-(1) Condenser lens- directs light to the specimen if there is no in built light source.(2) Eye piece - lens close to the eye of the observer which magnifies the image created by the objective lens.(3) Objective - These are the lenses which are positioned closest to the specimen mounted on the stage of the microscope which magnifies the specimen. There could be several objective lenses in an optical microscope, generally three. The low power objective (usually magnifies 4 times), mid power objective (usually magnifies 10 times) and the high power objective (usually magnifies 40 times).
Working principle of microscope?
microscope consists of two lens called eye lens and objective lens. objective lens is lens kept behind object and eye lens is keep on the top of microscope .i.e. on the place through which we look. firstly the object is placed behind the objective of microscope which is turned into virtual, erect and magnified image. later this image is thought to be the object for the eye lens and this objects forms real, inverted and magnified image.
What does a eye piece lens do on a microscope?
It looks foggy :)
