Microscope
How it Works
Eyepiece lens Objective lens Condenser lens
Main Components
the rays from the light source hit the condenser lens and are focused into the specimen
the rays then go through the objective lens and are magnified
finally the rays reach the eyepiece lens and are magnified for the final time
What is a microscope?
A microscope is an instrument used to observe small specimens by magnifying them
Type of lens
the microscope primarily uses convex lenses because they magnify an image
Convex lens
A convex lens works by converging incoming light rays into a single point and magnifying the image
