1. What is a microscope?

A microscope contains two lens systems: the eyepiece and the objective. We’re presenting these

systems as one lens each so that the concept is easier to understand. In reality, however, the eye-

piece (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 (10). 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'.
