1. What is a microscope?
A microscope contains two lens systems: the eyepiece and the ob-
jective. We're presenting these systems as one lens each so that the
concept is easier to understand. In reality, however, the eyepiece (1)
and the objective in the turret (3) are made up of multiple lenses.
The lower lens (objective) produces a magnified image of the pre-
pared specimen. The picture, which you can't see, is magnified once
more by the second lens (eyepiece, 1), which you can see as the
'microscope picture'.
