Answer:
The shortest lens is the scanning objective; you use it to locate the object on the slide. The medium-length lens is the low-power objective. The longest lens is the high-power objective. Multiplying the power of the eyepiece lens and the nose piece lens gives you the total number of times an object will magnified.
