How do simple and compound light microscopes compare?
Well...... for starters.... a simple microscope has only one lens and a compound light microscope has more than one lens. They both magnify objects (or specimen) and make them seem larger than they actually are. Well that's all I got........ Buh-Bye!
Name 5 types of microscopes?
five types of microscopes are: A compound light microscope,the stereo microscope,the electron microscope,a simple microscope(similar to a magnifying glass,and a compound microscope.
How many types of microscope are there?
There are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope, Dissection microscope, etc,but all together there are about 20 different types of microscopes.
What kind of microscope has a tube with lenses a stage and a light source?
compound light microscope
What is a microscope in science?
There is a compound light microscope, an scannignn electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.

Why is the light microscope described as a compound microscope?
it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens. A compound or light microscope has more than one.
What is a light microscope that has two more lenses?
A compound microscope

What type of microscope aside from the compound light microscope might you use to observe the organisms found in pond water?
compound light microscope
What is a compound microscope?
The term compound microscope normally refers to a light microscope that uses two or more lenses to magnify objects. (Two lenses does not refer to the number of eye pieces as does the term binocular microscope.) This is to be distinguished from a simple light microscope with a single lens. There are many modern variations of the light microscope which have more specialized names but which may still be "compound" with the meaning that they have multiple stages of magnification.
What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?
The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.
Why is the light microscope called a compound microscope?
Because it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens (a hand held magnifying glass can also be considered as a simple microscope). In a compound microscope, one cannot see the magnified image until both the lenses are used.
What came first electron microscope or light microscope?
compound light microscope - cell theory - electron microscope
Why light microscope also called compound microscope?
Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
Why the light microscope also called the compound microscope?
There are more than one type of light microscopes as well as other types of microscopes such as the SEM. The first microscopes were (and still being used) are the simple light microscopes. The compound microscope has that name because it contains two types of lenses that function to magnify an object. A simple microscope is a microscope that uses only one lens for magnification. It is the original design of the light microscope. Van Leeuwenhoek’s research used this type.
