Ok, this is a little easier to picture with a diagram, but I'll do my best to explain it to you... the object that is put on the microscope stage has light emitted from it. If you examine the light from one point of the image you find that there are three paths the light takes, one if through the focal point of the lens, the next is through, the center of the lens and the third is strait at the lens (parallel to its axis). these three paths of light will bend when they reach the lens (amount of bending depends on the index of refraction). Thee then form a new image. this new image acts as an object for the next lense and the process is repeated. this repeats until the light has passed through to your eye where the image you are seeing is greatly magnified.

Ref. 1 provides a thorough workup of the light path in a microscope. For a simplified version, see ref. 2.
