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

Description
Learn how light travels through a compound microscope, from the light source to the ocular lens, and how it is magnified to produce an image of the specimen. Understand the role of the condenser, objective lens, and ocular lens in the process.
