Compound microscope optical parts

Compound microscopes are neat little machines that allow us to see things up close. Ever stopped to consider how they function? In this guide, we will discuss all the Yinchen precision optical components of a compound microscope that enable us to see things by our eyes alone can´t see. 

Compound microscopes are made up of many parts that all play a role in the magnification of tiny things. The lenses of a compound microscope help us see things in much greater detail than if we were to use just our eyes. This is managed through the eyepiece; objective lens; condenser and diaphragm. 

A guide to compound microscope optical components

The eyepiece is the lens we look through to see the object which is being magnified. The objective lens is located at the bottom of the microscope and makes the object appear larger. The condenser focuses light onto the object, and the diaphragm regulates how much light hits the object. 

Each part of the compound microscope works to do one thing and that’s to make it bigger and clearer looking. The eyepiece glass magnifies an image that is produced by the objective lens. The objective lens magnifies the object we are viewing. Our condenser concentrates the light on the object itself, the diaphragm's function is to regulate the light flowing down on the object.
