The role of the ocular lens, also known as the eyepiece, is primarily **to recreate the image in the viewer’s eye**. It helps magnify the image produced by the objective lens and allows the viewer to see a larger view of the specimen. The ocular lens typically has a specific magnification power, often 10x or 15x, which contributes to the overall magnification of the microscope when combined with the objective lens magnification.
