Which lens is used in gun scope?
The objective lens is on the end of the scope farthest from the rifle’s stock. Its purpose is to transmit light back to the ocular lens, which is the lens closest to your eye. The part of the scope that houses the objective lens is the objective bell, while the section containing the ocular lens is the eyepiece.

The 9 means nine power, or nine times (9x) closer than it appears with your naked eye. The forty (40) is the objective lens diameter in millimeters.
How do scope lenses work?
Light passes through the objective lens and focuses down into a point within the scope – the aptly named focal point. From here, the image is then inverted and captured by the erector lens or “picture reversal assembly.” This system flips the image to the proper orientation, and sends light to the magnifying lens.
