Line 8:
The object is placed on a '''stage''' and may be directly viewed through one or two [[eyepiece]]s on the microscope. In high-power microscopes, both eyepieces typically show the same image, but with a [[stereo microscope]], slightly different images are used to create a 3-D effect. A camera is typically used to capture the image ([[micrograph]]).
The sample can be lit in a variety of ways. Transparent objects can be lit from below and solid objects can be
A range of [[Objective (optics)|objective]] lenses with different magnification are usually provided mounted on a turret, allowing them to be rotated into place and providing an ability to zoom-in. The maximum magnification power of optical microscopes is typically limited to around 1000x because of the limited resolving power of visible light. While larger magnifications are possible no additional details of the object are resolved.
