Eyepiece

An eyepiece is the combination of lenses that magnifies the image formed by the objective (main mirror or lens) in an optical instrument.

There are different types of eyepiece, each has its merits. The most common type seems to be the Plössl, which is a good general eyepiece. Huygens and Kellner are the names of two other types of eyepiece.
