The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains two lens systems, the objective lens composed of one or several lenses that magnify the image of the object being examined, and the ocular lens at the eyepiece end. The magnification of the microscope depends on the focal lengths of the two lens systems.

What part allows you to view the image on the stage and contains the ocular lens?

The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains the ocular lens which focuses the image from the objective lens and allows you to view the image on the stage.


How is a compound microscope different from a magnifying lens?

A compound microscope uses multiple lenses to magnify the image, allowing for higher magnification and resolution compared to a simple magnifying lens. The compound microscope also has a light source to illuminate the specimen, enabling better visibility of details. Additionally, compound microscopes typically have adjustable focus and magnification levels for more precise viewing.

How does a compound microscope use lenses to magnify an object?

A compound microscope uses a combination of two lenses - the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens captures and magnifies the image of the specimen, which is then further magnified by the eyepiece lens. By working together, these lenses increase the size of the image produced, allowing for greater magnification and visualization of tiny details on the specimen.


Which lens of a compound microscope is the object being examined?

The object being examined is placed directly under the objective lens of a compound microscope. The objective lens is the lens closest to the specimen and is used to magnify the image of the object.

A Microscope with a single lens is a microscope or magnifying glass?

Magnifying glass is thing which we hold in our hand to magnify a certain thing and we can adjust its magnification with our hand. But the simple microscope which has the same property (or better principle) of a magnifying glass, is fixed to a scale for adjusting through a knob. If you have ever seen a travelling microscope, you would have seen a small lens attached to the vernier scale. this is not a magnifying glass but a simple microscope with a specific/fixed magnification of the scale for eyes.
