Here's why:
* Objective lens: This lens is located closest to the object being viewed. It gathers light from the object and forms a magnified image. There are typically several objective lenses with different magnifications, allowing you to choose the level of detail you need.
* Eyepiece lens: This lens magnifies the image further, but its primary function is to project the image into your eye.
Therefore, while the eyepiece lens also contributes to the total magnification, the objective lens is the key component responsible for the initial magnification of the object.
