The coarsest classification has the ocular or eyepieceand the objective.
There are many designs for both these components of microscopes.
The objective lens of a microscope is the one at the bottom near the sample. At its simplest it is a very high-powered magnifying 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.
An eyepiece consists of several "lens elements" in a housing, with a "barrel" on one end. The barrel is shaped to fit in a special opening of the instrument to which it is attached. The image can be focused by moving the eyepiece nearer and further from the objective. Most instruments have a focusing mechanism to allow movement of the shaft in which the eyepiece is mounted, without needing to manipulate the eyepiece directly.

What feature is common in all microscopes and how is this feature related in the word microscope?
All microscopes have lenses. Some types of lenses are eyepiece lenses, objective lenses, and condenser lenses.
Name the two types of microscopes?
There are a variety of microscope types, but two large and different types are electron microscopes and optical microscopes. Optical microscopes are cheaper, and are commercially available for even you to buy. They work with lenses, and in many cases, oil emulsions. Electron microscopes work by bombarding specimens with electron beams. They are significantly more expensive than optical microscopes, but give a better quality image and come with vastly superior magnification levels, due to the fact that electrons have wavelengths circa 100,000 shorter than photons, or light. This enables you to see things in much greater detail.
What are the two different types of microscopes?

How many types of microscope are there?

Description of the microscope invented by zaccharias jansson?
Zacharias Janssen invented a compound 9x magnification optical microscope and a single lens optical microscope. It was made up of there draw types with lenses that were inserted within the flanking tubes' end.
What are examples of types of lenses?
there are two types of optical fiber,the first type is single mode fibers.the second type is multimode fibers.

Is compound microscope and electron microscope same?
An optical microscope of any type uses the light passing through glass lenses. A compound microscope is simply one that uses 2 or more lenses in series. The image is formed normally either in the observer's eye or in a camera fitted to the instrument, or in certain types may be projected onto a screen. An electron microscope passes a finely-focussed beam of electrons through the sample, and creates the resulting image on a photographic film or electronic detectors. The instrument is used to resolve objects that are far smaller than are possible with optical microscopes.
Which two types of microscopes view the surface of an object?
An optical, and an electron microscope.
What is optical instrumentation?
Optical instrumentation is the science of developing, manufacturing, and utilizing tools for optical purposes. This may include developing new types of optical surgeries or manufacturing glasses lenses.
What is an Optical Associate?
An optical associate is a person that assists customers with selecting frames and lenses for customers needing glasses. Optical associates also educate customers on various types of lenses, interpret prescriptions for eyewear and general retail sales.

What is the objective lens on a microscope?
An optical microscope used in a laboratory would have 3 different types of lenses.They are :-(1) Condenser lens- directs light to the specimen if there is no in built light source.(2) Eye piece - lens close to the eye of the observer which magnifies the image created by the objective lens.(3) Objective - These are the lenses which are positioned closest to the specimen mounted on the stage of the microscope which magnifies the specimen. There could be several objective lenses in an optical microscope, generally three. The low power objective (usually magnifies 4 times), mid power objective (usually magnifies 10 times) and the high power objective (usually magnifies 40 times).
Who invented the microscope in 1656-1930?
The first microscope was made around 1595 in Middelburg, Holland. Three different eyeglass makers have been given credit for the invention: Hans Lippershey (who also developed the first real telescope); Hans Janssen; and his son, Zacharias. The coining of the name "microscope" has been credited to Giovanni Faber, who gave that name to Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625. (Galileo had called it the "occhiolino" or "little eye".) The most common type of microscope-and the first to be invented-is the optical microscope. This is an optical instrument containing one or more lenses that produce an enlarged image of an object placed in the focal plane of the lens(es). There are, however, many other microscope designs. "Microscopes" can largely be separated into three classes: optical theory microscopes (Light microscope), electron microscopes (e.g.,TEM), and scanning probe microscopes (SPM). Optical theory microscopes are microscopes which function through the optical theory of lenses in order to magnify the image generated by the passage of a wave through the sample. The waves used are either electromagnetic (in optical microscopes) or electron beams (in electron microscopes). The types are the Compound Light, Stereo, and the electron microscope.
