Recall that the scanning, low, and high power objectives are different lenses that need to be switched during observation to change magnification.
Identify which part allows the user to rotate and switch between these objective lenses easily.
Recognize that the revolving nosepiece is the component designed to hold multiple objective lenses and rotate them into position over the slide.
Conclude that the scanning, low, and high power objectives are mounted on the revolving nosepiece.
