In an optical instrument, the objective is the optical element that gathers light from the object being observed and focuses the light rays to produce a real image. Objectives can be single lenses or mirrors, or combinations of several optical elements. They are used in microscopes, telescopes, cameras, slide projectors, CD players and many other optical instruments. Objectives are also called object lenses, object glasses, or objective glasses.

What is the difference between a dry and wet objective lens?
A dry objective lens is used without any immersion medium, while a wet objective lens requires a drop of immersion oil to improve resolution and clarity by reducing light refraction. Wet objectives are typically used for higher magnification and numerical aperture applications in microscopy.
What magnifies tiny objects?
The high-power objective lens; which magnifies the specimen about 40x (depending on the microscope) and the low-power objective lens; which magnifies the object about 10x. If you arn't familiar with the given terms then look them up, there are probably answers on this website.
Why is the low power objective placed in position when the microscope is stored or carried?
The shortest lens is the least likely to be "smashed" against a slide. =)Yeah, and that's the lens that you should start on when you get it out! Good job though, previous writer! xDTo prevent 100x lens from scratching with the sample pad.
What do the lenses on a microscope do to the light that passes through them?
The lens in the eye bends the light so that it's focused on the correct part of the retina. The lens needs to focus it just enough so that we have clear focus. If the lens is not doing its job correctly, people have to wear corrective lenses that bend the light enough to compensate for malfunctioning lens.
Rays of light incident on lens and parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?
This depends on the type of lens. If it is a convex lens then they converge at the focus on the other side of the lens. If it is a concave lens, then they diverge and appear to be coming from the focus present on the same side of the lens as the incident ray.
What is ocular lens and objective lens?
The ocular is the upper lens and objective is the lower lens
What is a objective lens?
low power objective lens
Is the low power objective lens the shortest objective lens?
scanning objective
When moving from a lower objective lens to a higher objective lens why does is the image lost?
Because during movement of lens there is no slide below objective .
Which lens of a compound microscope is closest to the objective being examined?
objective lens
What is the lens closest to the lens microscope?
The objective lens
What is more powerful out of the Objective or the Eye piece lens?
The focal length of EyePiece is relatively larger to that of the Objective lens. Power of a lens is inversely proportional to it's focal length. Therefore, Objective is slightly more powerful than EyePiece.
What has two lenses called the eyepiece lens and objective lens?
A microscope has two lenses called the eyepiece lens and the objective lens. The objective lens is closest to the object being viewed and magnifies it, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image formed by the objective lens for viewing by the observer.
What does the objective lens in a microscope do?
The objective lens in a microscope is responsible for magnifying the specimen being viewed. It gathers light from the specimen and focuses it to create an enlarged image that can be viewed through the eyepiece. The objective lens determines the resolution and magnification of the microscope.
What is the another name of objective lens?
There is no other name for the objective lens. However, the eyepiece is also called the ocular lens.
What happens to total magnification if increase objective lens?
Total magnification increases when the objective lens is increased because the objective lens magnifies the image before it reaches the eyepiece lens. The eyepiece then further magnifies the image for viewing.
Is the objective lens and a microscope also called the eyepiece?
No, the objective lens of a microscope, a telescope, or a camera is at the end nearest the object being observed - that is why it is named the objective lens.
