compound light microscope
A compound light microscope is used to magnify objects in steps.
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.
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.

The compound microscope is a light microscope that uses light to "see" microbes. Viruses are too small.The electron microscope uses electrons to "see" microbes or viruses.
A compound microscope uses light energy because they have a light source at the bottom
compound and light microscopes are used in some labs compound uses a mirror to reflect and a light gives a light source to it
it uses light to help you see the object and it has more than on lensIt uses light to see, and it is compound because it uses more than 1 lens.

An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
no, because the penny is not see-through. The compound light microscope uses a light and all you would see is a dark spot that used to be the penny.
