• nosepiece

• occular lens

• body tube

• stage

These are attached to the nosepiece and vary in size. The shortest lens is the least powerful and the longest lens is the most powerful. Often times people who make microscopes put different colored bands to identify the different powers. (#5)

• objective lens

• ocular lens

• nosepiece

• body tube

The first lens you use when doing proper microscope work 4X

• high power objective lens

• medium power objective lens

• low power objecive lens

The second lens you use when doing proper microscope work 10X

• high power objective lens

• medium power objective lens
