Hooke's compound microscope was consisted of two thick lenses at either end of the eyepiece, which looked much like a kaleidoscope. The specimen was mounted on a pin at the end of the eyepiece and beside the pin was a globe full of liquid (usually water) to give the image an illusion effect. The light to produce the image of the specimen was simply an oil lamp with a small circular mirror.
