Bertrand lens An accessory lens which may be inserted into the light path above the analyser in a transmitted-light microscope. When determining vibration directions or interference figures using parallel or convergent polarized light, the Bertrand lens is inserted to bring the image of the interference figures into focus. Alternatively, if the Bertrand lens is absent, the eyepiece may be removed and the vibration directions or interference figures observed by looking down the microscope tube. The lens was first used in 1878 by E. Bertrand who adapted an original (1844) design by G. B. Amici. In petrological Refractive Microscopes its applicability is more to determine the Mineral type by identifying the interference figures. it shows whether the mineral is Uniaxial or Biaxial and also +ve or _ve.

What is the function of the lens in an electron microscope?

The lens in an electron microscope focuses and magnifies the electron beam to produce high-resolution images of tiny objects.


Since the lens is made of protein what effect does preserving fluid in the lab have on the structure of the lens?

Preserving fluid in the lab can cause protein denaturation in the lens, leading to changes in its structure. This can result in alterations to the transparency and refractive properties of the lens, affecting its overall function.


What is the function of the condenser lens on the micrscope?

The condenser lens focuses and directs light onto the specimen on the microscope slide. It helps to illuminate the specimen evenly and improve contrast and resolution for clearer imaging. Adjusting the condenser lens controls the brightness and sharpness of the image.


What is the function of biconvex lens?

A biconvex lens is used to converge light rays to a single point, creating a real image. It is commonly used in magnifying glasses, cameras, and projectors to focus and magnify images.


Image of object formed by a lens on the screen is not in sharp focus suggest a method to get clear focusing of the image on the screen without disturbing the position of the object lens or the screen?

You could insert a second lens in the focal path, between the object and the first lens. The second lens can be designed (or moved) to focus the image on the screen. This is the same function that eyeglasses do for people with poor vision. The second lens, the eyeglasses, are inserted between the viewed object and the lens of the eyes. The second lens is designed to correct the distortion of the eye lens, thus creating an in-focus object on the "screens" of the eyes.
