GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -EYEPIECE This part allows you to view the image on the stage and contains the ocular lens. NOSEPIECE This part holds the objective lenses and is able to rotate to change magnification. OBJECTIVE LENSES These are found on the nosepiece and range from low to high power.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eyepiece Tube holds the eyepieces in place above the objective lens.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lens in the eyepiece of a microscope is called an ocular lens; it magnifies the image. The amount of magnification depends, but on average, ocular lenses in a microscope magnify 10 or 15 times the power of the image projected from the objective lens(es).

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocular or Binocular Head: Structural support that holds & connects the eyepieces to the objective lenses.

Detailed explanation-5: -The eyepiece, also called the ocular lens, is a low power lens. The objective lenses of compound microscopes are parfocal. You do not need to refocus (except for fine adjustment) when switching to a higher power if the object is in focus on a lower power. The field of view is widest on the lowest power objective.
