1. What is a microscope?
A microscope contains two lens systems: the eyepiece and the objec-
tive. We’re presenting these systems as one lens each so that the con-
cept is easier to understand. In reality, however, the eyepiece (1) and the
objective in the turret (3) are made up of multiple lenses.
