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.


Why is it important to know lens in microscopes are convex lens?

Convex lenses in microscopes help to magnify the specimen being observed by bending light rays, allowing for clearer and more detailed images. The shape of the convex lens also helps to focus the light rays onto a single point, resulting in a sharper image. Understanding the properties of convex lenses in microscopes is essential for proper functioning and accurate observation of specimens.


What is the magnification of the eyepiece lens in a microscope?

The magnification of the eyepiece lens in a microscope is typically 10x. This means that when combined with the magnification of the objective lens, the total magnification of the microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the objective lens.


What type of microscope did Leeuwenhoek create with one lens?

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek created a simple microscope with a single lens, known as a single-lens or simple microscope. This type of microscope was groundbreaking for its time and allowed Leeuwenhoek to observe and describe various microorganisms for the first time.


When were microscopes first used?

The first microscopes were developed in the late 16th century. However, it wasn't until the mid-17th century that advancements in lens-making and microscopy techniques allowed for greater magnification and clarity in microscopic observations.

Which of the following is a lens found on electron microscopes but not on light microscopes?

An electromagnetic lens is found on electron microscopes but not on light microscopes. Electromagnetic lenses use magnetic fields to focus electron beams in electron microscopes, allowing for higher magnification and resolution compared to light microscopes.


Microscopes are classified as simple or compound depending upon what?

Microscopes are classified as simple or compound based on the number of lenses they use. Simple microscopes have only one lens, while compound microscopes use multiple lenses to magnify the image of the specimen.

What lab instrument would be most useful for looking at large insects?

You can use a low power microscope for looking at large insects. Most low power microscopes are called "Stereo" or "Dissecting" microscopes and have two eyepieces and a separate objective lens for each eyepiece lens.

Do both hookes microscope and light microscopes contain a barrel with two lens?

Yes, both Hooke's microscope and light microscopes contain a barrel with two lenses. One lens is located near the object being magnified (objective lens) and the other is located near the eye of the viewer (eyepiece lens) to magnify and focus the image for viewing.
