Microscope Objective

Details:

• The most important imaging component in the optical microscope is the objective, complex multi-lens assembly that focuses light waves originating from the specimen and forms an intermediate image that is subsequently magnified by the eyepieces.
• The objective lens of a microscope is the one at the bottom near the sample it is a very high-powered magnifyimg glass , with very short focal length .
• This is brought very close to the specimen being examined so that the light from the specimen comes to a focus inside the microscope tube.
• The objective itself is usually a cylinder containing one or more lenses that are typically made of glass, its function is to collect light from the sample.
