In Biology, the eyepiece in a typical light microscope is used for magnifying the image being viewed (the field of view) by 10 times. Secondly, the eyepiece also has a scale on it which is visible when you look down through the microscope at an image, or at your field of view. This scale has divisions on it which you can use to measure the length of the cellular structures you are looking at.

So basically, the eypiece magnifies the image and has a scale on it which you can use to measure the structures in the cell.
