English: Diagram of a compound optical microscope with a lens close to the object being viewed to collect light (called the objective lens) which focuses a real image (image 1) of the object inside the microscope. That image is then magnified by a second lens or group of lenses (called the eyepiece) that gives the viewer an enlarged inverted virtual image (image 2) of the object
