It's called an "OCULAR" according to a microscope supplier site.

What is the objective lens on a microscope?

An optical microscope used in a laboratory would have 3 different types of lenses.They are :-(1) Condenser lens- directs light to the specimen if there is no in built light source.(2) Eye piece - lens close to the eye of the observer which magnifies the image created by the objective lens.(3) Objective - These are the lenses which are positioned closest to the specimen mounted on the stage of the microscope which magnifies the specimen. There could be several objective lenses in an optical microscope, generally three. The low power objective (usually magnifies 4 times), mid power objective (usually magnifies 10 times) and the high power objective (usually magnifies 40 times).


Working principle of microscope?

microscope consists of two lens called eye lens and objective lens. objective lens is lens kept behind object and eye lens is keep on the top of microscope .i.e. on the place through which we look. firstly the object is placed behind the objective of microscope which is turned into virtual, erect and magnified image. later this image is thought to be the object for the eye lens and this objects forms real, inverted and magnified image.


Where are the two lenses located on a compound microscope in a classroom today?

The two lenses on a compound microscope in a classroom are located on the nosepiece. One lens is the objective lens, which is closer to the specimen being viewed, and the other lens is the eyepiece lens, which is closer to the viewer's eye.


A light microscope that has two or more lenses is called a?

A light microscope that has two or more lenses is called a compound microscope. Compound microscopes use two sets of lenses to magnify the image, typically consisting of an objective lens near the specimen and an eyepiece lens near the eye. This arrangement allows for higher magnification and resolution compared to simple microscopes.


3 main parts of compound microscope?

I. Illuminating part(s) condenser illuminator diaphragm II. Magnifying part(s) Objectives: LPO - 10x HPO - 40x / 60X OIO - oil immersion objctive - 100x III. Mechanical part(s) arm base body tube stage rack stop focusing knobs (fine adjusmnt and coarse adjustment) dust shield revolving nosepiece inclination joint...

What is the lens that is closest to the eye in a light microscope?

On a microscope with the usual 3-lens turret it is usual to use the objective lens with the lowest magnification to first examine your specimen. This gives a wider overall view of the subject, and will allow you to choose the particular detail that best suits your study. You may then move on to a higher magnification, if necessary, to study finer detail. If you started with the highest magnification, your fine focus will be uncertain, and you risk the front of the objective lens coming into contact with the sample slide. This could damage your specimen, and may damage the front of the lens.


What is the eyepiece of a microscope called?

The eyepiece of a microscope is called the ocular lens. It is the lens closest to the eye of the viewer and is responsible for magnifying the image produced by the objective lens. The ocular lens typically has a magnification power of 10x, and when combined with the magnification power of the objective lens, it determines the total magnification of the microscope.


What is the lens you look through in a telescope binocular or microscope called?

The lens you look through in a telescope, binocular, or microscope is called the eyepiece. It is the lens closest to your eye that magnifies the image produced by the objective lens.


What does the eyepeice do in a microscope?

The eyepiece in a microscope is the lens that you look through to observe the specimen on the slide. It magnifies the image created by the objective lens, which is the lens closest to the specimen. The eyepiece typically provides additional magnification to allow for detailed examination of the specimen.

What is the lens closest to the eye?

That is called the "objective lens." You can remember it because it is closest to the object you are looking at.
