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 else can I help you with?
Where are the ocular lenses on a microscope?
The ocular lenses on a microscope are located at the top of the microscope's eyepiece tube. They are the lenses that you look through to view the magnified specimen on the microscope slide.
What does the objective lenses do on a microscope do?
The objective lenses on a microscope collects light and brings the specimens into focus.
What instrument that uses light and two or more lenses is used to view cells?
A microscope is the instrument that uses light and two or more lenses to view cells. The lenses in a microscope help to magnify and focus the light on the sample, allowing us to see the fine details of the cell structure.
Is a telephoto lens used on a microscope?
No, a telephoto lens is not typically used on a microscope. Microscopes use a combination of objective lenses and eyepieces to magnify small objects, allowing for detailed examination. Telephoto lenses are used in photography to magnify distant objects.
Microscope objective lenses?
Microscope objective lenses are the lenses located close to the specimen in a compound light microscope. They magnify the image of the specimen and transmit it to the eyepiece for viewing. Objective lenses come in various magnifications, such as 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x, which allows for different levels of magnification and detail in the specimen being observed.
What instrument uses light and lenses is used to view cells?
An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
What is the name of lenses attached to the nose piece of a microscope?
The lenses attached to the nosepiece of a microscope are called objective lenses. They are used to magnify the specimen being viewed.
Why are telescope lenses used?
magnify things. Such as a microscope.
What are used to magnify images in a light microscope?
Lenses are used to magnify images in a light microscope. These lenses include the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. By adjusting the focus of these lenses, the magnification of the specimen can be increased for detailed observation.
What is a compound microscope used for in lab equipment?
A compound microscope, like the common optical microscope is used to study objects too small to see with the naked eye. The difference between a common optical microscope, and a compound microscope is the number of objective lenses. A compound microscope will contain several lenses. This reduces distortion, and gives one multiple lenses with which to adjust magnification.
Microscope made up of two or more lenses?
Yes, two lenses can make a simple microscope. More are usually used. A magnifying glass - one lens - is the simplest microscope.
What type of microscope has multiple lenses?
A compound microscope has multiple lenses
Where are the ocular lenses on a microscope?
The ocular lenses on a microscope are located at the top of the microscope's eyepiece tube. They are the lenses that you look through to view the magnified specimen on the microscope slide.
What are the primary lenses that magnify the specimen on a microscope?
primary lenses are that lenses which are maked by leunhoek .these lenses are used to see parts of different objects and these lenses had maked first.they are mostly used in ancient time. .
What general type of microscope used bright illumination and multiple glass lenses?
A compound light microscope.
this part of the microscope is used to change the objective lenses?
the revolving nosepiece
What is used to bend electrons in an electron microscope?
Magnetic lenses are used to control the electron beam in an electron microscope. The magnetic field produced by the magnetic lenses deflects the energetic electrons. They are typically called magnetic lenses because they deflect the electron beam like optical lenses deflect light.
