microscope
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.
An ocular lens is the top part of a microscope it is the eyepiece that you look through. The ocular lens is there it magnify whatever if being viewed. It can be different strengths base on the size power of the lens.

To clean a microscope after finishing a practical is by using lens paper to wipe off the lens. Use a clean and dry cloth to wipe the entire microscope. Do not use water or oil, as it may get into small openings and ruin some functions.
To clean a microscope lens, you can use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical equipment, along with lens cleaning paper that is lint-free and soft. Gently wipe the lens in a circular motion to remove any dirt or smudges, being careful not to scratch the lens. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the lens.
The upper lens in a microscope is called the eyepiece or ocular lens. It is the lens through which the viewer looks to observe the magnified specimen on the microscope slide.
