Convex lenses, such as those found in magnifying glasses or microscopes, can magnify light by bending it towards a focal point. This bending effect makes the object appear larger when viewed through the lens.

What part of a microscope refracts light?

The lenses in a microscope refract light to magnify and focus the image. Specifically, the objective lens collects and magnifies light from the specimen, while the eyepiece further magnifies the image for viewing.

What do the lenses of microscope do to light?

The lenses of a microscope focus and magnify light rays, allowing small objects to be seen in greater detail. The objective lens gathers and magnifies light from the specimen, while the eyepiece further magnifies the image for viewing.


Which magnifies the image in a telescope?

What is the function of the lenses on a light microscope?

The lenses on a light microscope are used to magnify the specimen being observed. The objective lens magnifies the image, and the eyepiece further magnifies the image for viewing. Together, these lenses allow for detailed examination of small objects or organisms.


What magnifies an object by bending the light that passes trough the lenses?

That is true of most microscopes and of telescopes.


What magnifies the object on a microscope?

Usually the lenses. But some cheap microscopes use computer software to do the enlarging.


Which type of microscope magnifies more and how much more?

An electron microscope magnifies more than a light microscope. Electron microscopes can magnify up to 1,000,000 times, while light microscopes typically magnify up to 2000 times.


What is the function of the lens in the eyepeice?

An eyepiece lens takes the bright light from the focus of the objectivce lens and magnifies it :)


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).
