Eyepieces

Microscope eyepieces, also known as ocular lenses, are an essential component of a microscope and are used to magnify the image formed by the objective lens. They typically come in 10x and 16x magnification and are interchangeable to provide different magnifying powers.

Eyepieces can have additional features such as crosshairs or reticles to assist in the measurement of specimens. They play a crucial role in determining the overall magnifying power of the microscope and the clarity of the observed image.
