1. What is a microscope?
A microscope contains two lens systems: the eyepiece and the objective. We're presenting these
systems as one lens each so that the concept is easier to understand. In reality, however, the eye-
piece (1) and the objective are made up of multiple lenses.
The lower lens (objective) produces a magnified image of the prepared specimen (12). 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'.
2. Assembly and location
Before you start, choose an ideal location for using your microscope. It's important that you choose
a spot with enough light for normal observation. Furthermore, it is recommended that you place the
microscope on a stable surface, because a shaky surface will not lead to satisfactory results.
