A diverging lens can produce several types of images, depending on the location of the object relative to the lens. Typically, a diverging lens will produce a virtual, upright, and reduced image for objects placed beyond the lens' focal point.
The eyepiece lens, also known as the ocular lens, is located on the superior end of the body tube on a microscope. This lens is where you look through to observe the specimen on the slide.
A lens tube is a cylindrical attachment that fits onto the front of a camera lens to provide additional protection, support, or functionality. It can help prevent damage to the lens, reduce lens flare, or allow for the attachment of filters or hoods.
The Body Tube
body tube - for microscope
The microscope contains an objective lens at the top of the body tube. This lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen being viewed, focusing the light, and producing an initial image for further magnification.
It is important that the conjunctiva in which the plate is placed is not scarred; that the cornea is clear; and that there are no attachments of the iris to the lens behind it or to the cornea in front of it.
When an object is placed closer to a convex lens, the image that is formed will be farther away from the lens than the object is. This is because the convex lens will refract the light rays in a way that causes them to converge at a point behind the lens, creating a real and magnified image.
To find the total magnification when a x5 lens and a x10 lens are used together, you multiply their magnifications. Therefore, the total magnification would be (5 \times 10 = 50). This means the combined system would magnify the image 50 times the original size.
The objective lens focuses and magnifies the object and transmits this image into the body tube of the microscope.
The part of the microscope that holds the objective lens is called the nosepiece. It allows for easy changing of various objective lenses to adjust the magnification during observation. The nosepiece is typically located below the stage where the specimen is placed.
