Eyepieces are inserted into the top end of the tube and make the magnified image available to the human eye. Typically, the eyepiece is a 10x magnification of the image produced by the objective lens and has a visual field number of 10 to 23. This number is the diameter of the intermediate image given in mm. Eyepieces are interchangeable. Special eyepieces for wearers of glasses are available, too.
