The two main lenses of a microscope are the objective lens and the ocular (or eyepiece) lens. The objective lens is located near the specimen and typically has varying magnifications, while the ocular lens is situated at the top and is what the viewer looks through to see the magnified image. Together, they work to enhance the detail visible in the specimen being observed.

How many lenses does a compound microscope have?

The term compound microscope normally refers to a light microscope that uses two or more lenses to magnify objects. (Two lenses does not refer to the number of eye pieces as does the term binocular microscope.) This is to be distinguished from a simple light microscope with a single lens. There are many modern variations of the light microscope which have more specialized names but which may still be "compound" with the meaning that they have multiple stages of magnification. See related links.


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.
