In a compound light microscope, light passes through the condenser and is focused onto the specimen being observed. The light then passes through the specimen and is focused by the objective lens, which magnifies the image. The magnified image is then passed through the eyepiece, which further magnifies the image and presents it to the viewer. So, in summary, after leaving the condenser, light passes through the specimen and the objective lens before reaching the eyepiece. The eyepiece is typically located at the top of the microscope, and is the part that the viewer looks through to observe the specimen.
