nosepiece

Spectacles' central span

A nosepiece is the part of something that rests on or covers the nose.

On eyeglasses, the nosepiece is the bridge or the small pads that sit on either side of the nose.

On a microscope, the nosepiece is the rotating turret that holds multiple objective lenses.

Protective masks and respirators also have nosepieces that seal against the face.
