a. In a light microscope, visible light is passed through the specimen and then through two glass lenses. 

b. The first lens focuses the magnified image of the object on the second lens, which magnifies it again and focuses it on the back of the eye.

c. The glass lenses bend (refract) the light in such a way that the image of the specimen is magnified. In this way, a combination of lenses helps in higher magnification.
