Functions of the Objective Lens in a Light Microscope

Question

State the function of the objective lens in a light microscope.

Answer

Magnifies image / object

The objective lens is a fundamental component of a light microscope. It is responsible for gathering and magnifying the light that passes through the specimen, ultimately forming the initial image of the specimen. The objective lens is located at the lower end of the microscope's body tube, close to the specimen being observed.
