Question

How does the lens of a light microscope work?

A. Each concave lens bends light to make the object appear larger.
B. Each convex lens bends light to make the object appear larger.
C.Each convex lens bends light to make the object become larger.
D. The reflection of each concave lens makes the object appear larger.

Answer 1

The correct answer is (B) Each convex lens bends light to make the object appear larger.

Lens in microscope are an objects, usually made up of glass, these lens are of convex type and it lets us (observer) see a larger image of object under observation by bending the light on the slide under the microscope.

Objective lens are most important lens in the microscope. The purpose of the objective lens is to gather light and enhance magnification. A typical compound microscope will have four objective lens for magnification.
