Optical microscopes use refractive lenses, typically of glass and occasionally of plastic, to focus light into the eye or another light detector.

An instrument that uses glass lenses to magnify an object?

A microscope is an instrument that uses glass lenses to magnify small objects, such as cells or bacteria, for detailed observation. The lenses in a microscope work together to focus light onto the object, resulting in an enlarged image that can be viewed through the eyepiece. Microscopes are commonly used in scientific research, education, and medical diagnostics.


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.


What do you use to look at small objects?

A magnifying glass or a microscope is typically used to look at small objects in detail. Magnifying glasses use lenses to enlarge the object, while microscopes use a system of lenses and light to magnify objects for detailed observation.


How are lenses used in a microscope?

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.


Why are images observed in a light microscope reversed and inverted?

The lenses used reversed the image.

What general type of microscope used bright illumination and multiple glass lenses?

A compound light microscope.


Type of microscope that uses glass lenses to focus light rays?

A light microscope, also known as an optical microscope, is the type of microscope that uses glass lenses to focus light rays and produce magnified images of specimens. It is commonly used in biology and other sciences for viewing cells, tissues, and small organisms.


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.


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 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 materials were used to build the first microscope?

Telescopes and microscopes were invented around the same time, by connecting pairs of lenses made from curved circles of glass (convex and concave lenses). Opaque tubes are used to limit light coming from outside the connected lenses.


What is the function of the lenses on a light microscope?

The lenses on a light microscope are used to magnify the specimen being observed. The objective lens magnifies the image, and the eyepiece further magnifies the image for viewing. Together, these lenses allow for detailed examination of small objects or organisms.
