Study Notes

Path of Light through a Compound Microscope

Light originates from a light source
Light passes through the condenser, which focuses it
Focused light passes through the specimen
Light enters the objective lens, which magnifies the image of the specimen
Magnified image passes through the ocular lens
Ocular lens further magnifies the image of the specimen
