What are the optical parts of the microscope. How does it achieve magnification and Resolution?
The main parts of an optical microscope are: the eyepiece, objective lense and light source (sometimes a mirror). The objective lense has a short focal length so it produces an image a little bit up the microscope’s tube which is then magnified by the eyepiece. Resolution is dependant on the numerical appeture of the lense and the wavelenght of the light source used.
