Optics Experimental Review

What did we learn?

This lab helps to fully understand the different parts of a microscope. The condenser and imaging pathway in a microscope relate to optics because they both use lenses and light to create a magnified image. The condenser focuses light onto the specimen, while the objective and eyepiece lenses bend and magnify the light to form a clear, detailed image.
