The focus of a converging lens can be found located by moving the object(source) from a large distance and getting it closer to the lens.As we go closer the size of the image which is obtained on a screen placed behind the mirror increases.At a certain point the size of the image and that of the object are equal.This point is known as the center of curvature.The focus is the midpoint of the center of curvature and the optical point.In other words the focal length is Radius of curvature/2

Do you start with the lowest power lens on a microscope first?
Yes, it is best to start with the lowest power lens when using a microscope. This allows you to locate and focus on the specimen before moving to higher magnifications. Starting with a higher power lens can make it harder to locate and focus on the specimen.
What lenss is a converging lens?
A converging lens is thin at the ends and thick in the middle. It is called converging because the rays of light passing through it, if parallel, converge at a point the other side. A magnifying glass uses a converging lens.
Can a converging lens have more than one focus?
No, a converging lens can have only one focus. The focus is the point where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens, and this is a unique property of the lens.
How do you focus your Nikon D5000 camera when filming?
If you have an AF, or auto-focus lens (like the kit 18-55mm lens) you can focus your lens prior to filming, but cannot auto-focus while filming. To manually focus, switch the switch on the side of your lens to 'M' for manual. To focus, turn the outer focus ring on the lens until your subject matter is clear.
What does a fine focus do on a microscope?
This allows for small adjustments to the focus. Usually the large focus is used with smaller powers (not zoomed in as much), to locate the specimen and move it closer (or further away) from the lens. The fine focus knob is used once the specimen is almost in focus, or if you are on high power.
When beginning to focus a microscope what lens should you use?
You should start by using the lowest power objective lens, usually the 4x or 10x objective, to locate and center the specimen on the slide. Once the specimen is in focus, you can switch to higher magnifications for more detailed viewing.
When viewing a specimen under the microscope you should always start with the?
low power objective lens to locate and focus on the specimen before moving to higher magnifications.
Where is the focus located?
The focus is the point at which light rays converge after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror. For a concave mirror or converging lens, the focus is in front of the mirror/lens. For a convex mirror or diverging lens, the focus is behind the mirror/lens.
How do you find the focal point on lens?
The focal point on a lens is typically found at the point where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens. One way to locate the focal point is by using a concave or convex lens to focus light rays onto a surface and then measuring the distance between the lens and the point where the light converges. Additionally, many lenses come with information about their focal length, making it easier to locate the focal point.
What is the objective lens used to locate the specimen and the first focus?
When viewing a specimen, you must always use the lower power objective lenses first. Low power lens gives the widest field of view and makes it easier to find the specimen when you look through the microscope. Finding the specimen at high power, without first centering it in the field of view at low power, is nearly impossible.
What is a CPU camera lens?
A CPU camera lens has electrical contacts on it. This means that it also has the auto focus option, which is where the lens will focus itself.
What lens uses to locate the specimen?
Convex lens or low power objective
