What type of lens does a light microscope use?

A light microscope uses a combination of convex lenses, including objective lenses and eyepiece lenses, to magnify and focus light passing through the specimen. The objective lens is closer to the specimen and creates the initial magnified image, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing by the observer.


Which optical instrument uses a large concave mirror a plane mirror and a convex lens to gather light focus and enlarge an image?

Astronomical telescopes use a large concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens in their design. The concave mirror gathers light, the plane mirror reflects it to a more convenient viewing location, and the convex lens magnifies and focuses the image for observation.


How do you use concave lens in a sentence?

A concave lens is thinner at the centre. People who are short sighted often use a concave lens to help them see better.


Why do things look upside down in the microscope?

its because the lens of the microscope is convex. this means that it is curved a little bit, like the lenses of glasses. this causes the image to appear upside down. try looking into the curved part of a spoon from both sides. one side your reflection is normal, but on the other side your reflection is upside down, because of concave and convex. The side where you see your reflection normal is concave, and the side where it is backwards is convex. hope i helped!


Do microscopes use concave or convex lenses?

Microscopes primarily use convex lenses. Convex lenses converge light rays to create a magnified image. There are also compound microscopes that incorporate both convex and concave lenses to enhance the quality of the image.

Can a Concave lens be use as an eyepiece in a microscope?

Yes, a concave lens can be used as an eyepiece in a microscope to help magnify the image being viewed. Concave lenses are often used to decrease the focal length and adjust the magnification of the microscope.


List two uses for concave lens?

Both concave and convex lenses are used in glasses; A microscope, like a reflecting telescope, uses a concave mirror, a plane mirror, and a convex lens; A refracting telescope uses two convex lenses to magnify images in the sky; binoculars use concave lenses to improve detail.


Which lens is a converging lens a double-convex lens or a spherical-convex lens or a plano-concave lens or a convexo-concave lens?

Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.


Does a movie projector use a concave lens?

No, a movie projector uses a convex lens.


You want to manignify a butterfly so that you can see the colorful scales on its wings what would you use a concave lens or a convex lens?

i guess it doesnt really matter. my magnifying glass is a convex lens so yaaaa. well that's all i got cuz this website don't even no what a concave or convex lens is.


Why does a microscope use a convex lens?

A convex lens is used in a microscope to magnify the image of the specimen being examined. The shape of the lens allows it to focus light rays and produce a larger, clearer image for observation.


Would you use a convex lens or a concave lens to magnify an object?

A convex lens would be used to magnify an object because it converges light rays to a focal point, thereby creating a larger and more magnified image. A concave lens diverges light rays and would not be suitable for magnifying objects.

What is another name for a convex lens?

Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively
