And now you know why it is called that \u2012 because it is the one closest to the objective. Conversely, the lens closest to the eye is called the \u2018oculus\u2019 (from the ancient Greek word for eye).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.labkafe.com\/storage\/blog\/optimize\/working-principle-of-a-microscope-1.jpg\" alt=\"lenses Labkafe\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A rudimentary microscope made by holding two lenses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can actually do this at home using two hand-held lenses.

The Idea Primarily, a microscope \u2018magnifies\u2019 the view of something, anything that is on its point of focus.
