Is the objective lens in a microscope also called a eyepiece?
No, the eyepiece and objective lens are at opposite ends of the microscope.
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 is the light source of a microscope also known as?
The "lamp"-no seriously, it is a lamp.
What instruments make use of lenses?
We find that imaging equipment that makes tiny things appear big (a microscope) or really far away things appear close (a telescope) uses lenses. There are also new tools that allow looking "into" and "around" things by virtue of fiber optics, and they employ lenses. Industry and medicine have a wide variety of 'scopes to do all kinds of stuff with. Still and moving picture technology still relies on lenses. There are a few more things, lke a simple looking glass, that are or make use of lenses. Oh, and don't forget corrective optics so people can see better. Glasses or contacts are lenses.
What is the function of the object lens in the microscope?
It is an optical instrument that gathers light from the object being observed and focus the light rays to produce a real image. They are also called objectives. In microscopes, lenses are found at the bottom near the sample. They are mainly used at telescopes, microscopes and cameras.
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 is the objective lens?
In an optical instrument, the objective is the optical element that gathers light from the object being observed and focuses the light rays to produce a real image. Objectives can be single lenses or mirrors, or combinations of several optical elements. They are used in microscopes, telescopes, cameras, slide projectors, CD players and many other optical instruments. Objectives are also called object lenses, object glasses, or objective glasses.
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.
Is the objective lens in a microscope is also called the eyepiece?
No, the eyepiece and objective lens are at opposite ends of the microscope.
Is the objective lens in a microscope also called a eyepiece?

Is the objective lens in the microscope also called the eyepiece?
No, the eyepiece and objective lens are at opposite ends of the microscope.
Where do you find the scanning power objective on a microscope?
The scanning power objective relates to the objective lens. Most microscopes provide two or more objective lenses to give a choice of magnification power. Some also include an oil immersion lens for even greater magnification.
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.
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.
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 is the function of the revolving nosepiece in the microscope?
The nose piece holds the odjective lense, rotates, and notes the positive stops for each lens.
Explain why an inverted image is seen under a compound microscope?
The microscope you are using is probably old, and it has an odd number of convex lenses between the object and your eye. in addition to enlarging (or reducing) an image, an optical convex lense also inverts the image. If you were to invert the inverted image again, using another lense, then the resulting image will appear upright. So a microscpope with three lenses (most likely the number of lenses in the microscope you are using) inverts the image three times, resulting in an upside-down image. A microscope with four lenses shows an upgright image. That is why modern microscope manufacturers use an even number of lenses in a microscope (and in binoculars).
