The ocular lens, also known as the eyepiece lens, is the part of a compound microscope that a user looks into to see a magnified image. It is a see-through double convex lens curved to cause images to appear larger. It is an essential element to every compound microscope.

The eyepiece of a microscope is used to magnify and focus the image of the specimen that is being viewed through the objective lenses. It allows the viewer to see a larger and clearer image of the specimen. The eyepiece typically provides additional magnification to the image produced by the objective lenses.

There is nothing as ocular in a microscope. It is probably the ocular. The other name of the ocular is 'eye piece', which is the nearest part of the eye.
