1. What is a microscope?
A microscope contains two lens systems: the eyepiece and the objec-
tive. We’re presenting these systems as one lens each so that the con-
cept is easier to understand. In reality, however, the eyepiece (1) and the
objective in the turret (3) are made up of multiple lenses.
The lower lens (objective) produces a magnified image of the prepared
specimen. The picture, which you can’t see, is magnified once more by
the second lens (eyepiece, 1), which you can see as the ‘microscope
picture’.
