Eyepiece
An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as Optical telescope, telescopes and microscopes. It is named because it is usually the lens that is closest to the eye when someone looks through an optical device to observe an object or sample. The Objective (optics), objective lens or mirror collects light from an object or sample and brings it to focus creating an image of the object. The eyepiece is placed near the Focus (optics), focal point of the objective to magnify this image to the eyes. (The eyepiece and the eye together make an image of the image created by the objective, on the retina of the eye.) The amount of magnification depends on the focal length of the eyepiece. An eyepiece consists of several "Lens (optics), lens elements" in a housing, with a "barrel" on one end. The barrel is shaped to fit in a special opening of the instrument to which it is attached. The image can be focus (optics), focused by moving th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
