Detailed explanation-3: -The most important part of the microscope are the objective lenses. These different lenses allow the viewer to see the specimen at different magnifications and easily switch between the lenses with the revolving nosepiece.

Detailed explanation-4: -The revolving nosepiece is the inclined, circular metal plate to which the objective lenses, usually four, are attached. The objective lenses usually provide 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x magnification.
