microscope lens
Specimen-viewing glass
A microscope lens is an optical component that magnifies specimens for viewing.
The objective lens, positioned near the specimen, provides primary magnification, while the eyepiece lens (ocular) further enlarges the image for the viewer's eye.
High-quality microscopes use multiple lens elements to correct for optical distortions: The microscope lens revealed cellular structures invisible to the naked eye.
