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.

How many lenses does the light pass through between the light source and your eye?
how does light effect your eye? In a compound light microscope? The light passes through three lenses between the light source and your eye. The first lens is the condenser lens.. The second lens is the objective lens. The third and final lens is the Eyepiece, also known as, the ocular lens. This is the lens you look through. These are the lenses that light must pass through to get from the light source to your eye.
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.
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 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.
Does a compound microscope have one lens?
A compound microscope has two lenses: the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens is used to gather light from the specimen and create a magnified image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing.
What is the name of the lens closest to your eye in a microscope?
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).
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.
In order lists the lenses in the light path between a speciman viewed with the compound light microscope and its image on the retina of the eye?
The lenses in the light path between a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope and its image on the retina of the eye are the objective lens, the tube lens, and the ocular lens. Light passes through the objective lens to magnify the specimen, then through the tube lens to further focus the image, and finally through the ocular lens where it is magnified for viewing by the eye.
What is the lens you look through on a microscope?
an eye piece 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 path does light take as it travels through the microscope?
In a compound microscope, light enters through the condenser, passes through the specimen on the slide, is magnified by the objective lens, then further magnified by the eyepiece before reaching the observer's eye. The condenser focuses the light onto the specimen for clarity, and the objective lens captures the magnified image for viewing.
Does a compound microscope have one lens?
A compound microscope has two lenses: the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens is used to gather light from the specimen and create a magnified image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing.
Why do we call the microscope a compound light microscope?
The term "compound" refers to the microscope's use of multiple lenses in its optical system. A compound light microscope uses two sets of lenses to magnify the image: the objective lens near the specimen and the eyepiece lens near the observer's eye. This design allows for greater magnification and clearer imaging than a simple light microscope.
