Describe how a light microscope creates a magnified image?

A light microscope creates a magnified image through a series of lenses. The light rays reflected from the viewed abject, pass through these many lenses and form an enlarged picture of the object. It is able to show the fine details of the object that most people are studying or looking for.


How do the lenses in light microscopes magnify an object?

This is done through the law of reflection and of course magnification. light is passed through the specimen and through the objective lenses. each objective lenses have different degrees of magnification powers. they have 10x, 40x, and oil immersion lens which has magnification up to 100x. the image is then passed through the eye piece and which also has another set of lens which further enhance the image with a magnification up to 10x and finally we view the magnified object.


Why can only convex lenses make real images?

Convex lenses can only make real images because they converge light rays that pass through them. This convergence causes the light rays to meet at a point beyond the lens, creating a focused image. In contrast, concave lenses diverge light rays and cannot create a real image.


Can you see light through a microscope?

Yes, light passes through a microscope to illuminate the specimen, allowing it to be viewed. The light is focused by lenses in the microscope to create a magnified image of the specimen.


Which forms where light rays converge?

Light rays converge at concave lenses, creating a real image, and at convex lenses outside the focal point, forming a virtual image. In both cases, the convergence of light rays leads to the formation of an image.

What produces an image of a specimen by passing visible light through it?

A light microscope produces an image of a specimen by passing visible light through it. This light passes through the specimen, is refracted and magnified by the lenses in the microscope, and then projected to create a magnified image that can be viewed through the eyepiece or captured using a camera.

How does micrscopes produce an image while observing?

Microscopes use lenses to magnify an image of a specimen placed on a slide. Light is passed through the specimen and the lenses to create an enlarged, detailed image that can be observed through an eyepiece or displayed on a screen. Some microscopes, like electron microscopes, use beams of electrons instead of light to create an image.


What type microscope allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lenses to form an image?

a compound light microscope


Which microscope uses lenses and objectives to magnify?

An optical microscope uses lenses and objectives to magnify objects. Light passing through the lenses magnifies the image, allowing for detailed viewing of small specimens.


What do the lenses on a microscope do to the light that passes through them?

The lens in the eye bends the light so that it's focused on the correct part of the retina. The lens needs to focus it just enough so that we have clear focus. If the lens is not doing its job correctly, people have to wear corrective lenses that bend the light enough to compensate for malfunctioning lens.


Why can only convex lenses make real images?

Convex lenses can only make real images because they converge light rays that pass through them. This convergence causes the light rays to meet at a point beyond the lens, creating a focused image. In contrast, concave lenses diverge light rays and cannot create a real image.


What type of lens does a light microscope use?

A light microscope uses a combination of convex lenses, including objective lenses and eyepiece lenses, to magnify and focus light passing through the specimen. The objective lens is closer to the specimen and creates the initial magnified image, while the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing by the observer.
