When light enters the lens of a microscope, it undergoes refraction, causing the light rays to converge and focus on a specific point known as the focal point. This focused light then passes through the specimen on the microscope slide, allowing for magnified visualization of the object.
The lens is the object used to focus light in a light microscope. The lens in a light microscope is typically found within the objective lens or the eyepiece, and it helps to magnify the image of the specimen.
In an electron microscope, the condenser lens is comparable to the condenser lens in a light microscope, as both concentrate and direct the light/electron beam onto the specimen. The objective lens in an electron microscope is similar to the objective lens in a light microscope, as both magnify the specimen image. Additionally, both types of microscopes have a stage where the specimen is placed for observation.
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.
Adjustment knobs are used to focus light in a light microscope.
A microscope typically uses a convex lens to focus light and magnify an image. The convex lens converges light rays to produce a magnified image, whereas a concave lens would diverge light rays and not be suitable for magnification in a microscope.
After passing through the specimen, the light enters the objective lens system in a microscope. This lens system is responsible for magnifying the image of the specimen.

A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.

The source of magnification in a light microscope is the combination of the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens gathers light from the specimen and forms an initial image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens to allow for detailed viewing by the observer.
