Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic components of a light microscope, which typically include the ocular lens, objective lens, condenser lens, and sometimes scanning lenses as part of the objective system.
Recall that the ocular lens, also known as the eyepiece lens, is the lens located within the eyepiece of the microscope through which the viewer looks to see the magnified image.
Recognize that the objective lens is located near the specimen and is responsible for the primary magnification and resolution of the image.
Know that the condenser lens is located below the stage and focuses light onto the specimen to improve illumination, but it is not part of the eyepiece.
Conclude that the lens located within the eyepiece of a light microscope is the ocular lens.
