The ocular lens is positioned at the top of the optical tube, while the objective lens is positioned at the bottom. Both of these lenses have important roles in magnification, but the objective lens also has other defined roles, such as resolving power.

Light microscopes are relatively complex pieces of equipment in nature with multiple different parts, some which are more complex than others.

The lenses of the microscope are fundamental to its function as they provide the magnification power that allows the microscopic specimen to be seen or observed in greater detail. The two main types of lenses found in light microscopes today are called the objective lens and the ocular lens, which is also called the eyepiece.

While the total magnification is determined by both the objective and ocular lens, the resolution is determined by the objective lens alone.

This objective is often referred to as the scanning objective lens since the low power provides enough magnification to give the observer a good overview of the entire slide and sample.

The majority of light microscopes have an objective lens of some kind, including both compound microscopes and stereo microscopes. Both of these types of microscopes also have an eyepiece or ocular lens.

Since it still provides a good amount of magnification at a good distance from the slide, there is a limited risk of it breaking the glass and potentially ruining the sample. That’s why this objective lens is often preferred before going for a high powered lens.

The majority of compound microscopes come with interchangeable objective lenses, which have different magnification powers. This commonly includes 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x objective lenses.

The objective lens and the ocular or eyepiece lens are in combination responsible for magnification of the specimen being observed.

ABSTRACT This OEDG planning project is exploring new strategies for engaging persons with physical limitations in geologic field work through surrogate, immersive, virtual representations, with the goal of bringing more diverse students into the geosciences. During the initial phase, a partnership between the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and the Advanced Computing Center for Arts andDesign (ACCAD), at Ohio State University (OSU), will design, develop, and present geoscience content material for a pilot workhop focused on cave geology, while investigating the efficacy, perception and transfer for students with limited content knowledge as a result of their lack of direct access to the field environment. The project brings together researchers in the fields of information technologies, Earth science, education, art and design, and disabilities research. Mobility-impaired undergraduate and graduate students are engaged as active participants during development of the educational resources, to ensure their utility with this audience. Additional partners in the project include Ohio's STEM Ability Alliance (OSAA), the Offices of Disability Services at OSU, Wright State University (WSU), Mammoth Caves National Park, the National Cave and Karst Research Institute, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

For example, if you are looking down a microscope, the resolution power relates to the space you can see between two points. A very low resolution would result in a blurred image and would prevent proper observation of the specimen.

A drop of special oil which has a similar refractive index to glass, is placed on the cover slip over the specimen.  The oil immersion objective lens is immersed in the oil, rather than air, enabling a clear image of the specimen.

Because glass and air have different refractive indexes, light bends at different angles when it passes through each of them. When using the 4x, 10x, 40x objective lenses, the light refraction that occurs when looking through the lens to the specimen on the glass slide is not very noticeable. However, when using the higher power objective lenses, for example the 100x, the light refraction is much more obvious.

This objective lens will achieve the greatest magnification and has a total magnification of 1000x (10x eyepiece lens x the 100x objective equals 1000).

Resolving power is also a very important metric since magnification power is of little importance if the resolution is not high. Resolution is defined as the ability to distinguish 2 points as two points.

The objective lens is at the bottom of the eyepiece tube and is responsible for both total magnification of the specimen, as well as the resolving power of the microscope.

Ensuring your lenses are are kept clean will increase the performance and clarity of your microscope’s images.  There are many products on the market but nothing specifically made for microscopes.  We found a good quality Digital Camera Cleaning Kit was a great option, something with wipes for removing grease and oils and a puffer bottle for blowing away dust.

This is referred to as the high powered objective lens since it is ideal for observing the small details within a specimen sample. The total magnification for this lens is equal to 400x magnification (10x eyepiece lens x the 40x objective equals 400).

Combined with the eyepiece lens, this lens will provide the lowest magnification power. For example, 10x eyepiece lens, multiplied by the 4x objective lens gives a total magnification of 40x.

This objective lens is the next lowest powered and is often the most helpful when it comes to analyzing glass slide samples. The total magnification for this lens is equal to 100x magnification (10x eyepiece lens x the 10x objective equals 100).

As previously mentioned, the ocular or eyepiece lens is located at the top of the eyepiece tube and is where you position your eye to observe the specimen. The ocular lens typically has a low magnification (10x) and works in combination with the objective lens to achieve a greater magnification power.

Often overlooked is the cleanliness of your optics. Daily use in any environment will attract dust and small debris, and when handling your lens, oils from your body can be transferred. This is particularly the case around the eyepiece.
