Answer:

When viewing a specimen in a microscope, what allows to physically see the image are both lenses, eyepiece and objective.

Step-by-step explanation:

In optical microscopy, the lenses used to observe microscopic samples play an important role and are necessary for the study of such samples.

- An objective lens is the first to capture the image, providing clarity and proper focus, as well as eliminating color or shape distortions.

- Eyepiece lens obtains the image provided by the objective lens and enlarges it, so that the observer can appreciate the characteristics of the specimen studied.

Regarding other options:

  • Stage allows to see the prepared sample, ready for its study, but the microscopic characteristics are not appreciated.
  • The eyepiece and objective work together to provide a proper microscopic image.
