Does a compound microscope only have 1 lens?
No. If it only has one lens, then it's just a magnifying glass, not a microscope.
How did the compound light microscope get its name?
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.
Who discovered the simple microscope?
Short answer: Zacharias Jansen Long answer: Your question is not valid for 2 reasons: 1. You cannot "discover" something if it does not exist. You should be asking who invented it, not who found it laying around somewhere. 2. A "simple microscope" is not common terminology. Simple compared to an electron microscope? or simple compared to a compound microscope? What is typically referred to as just "microscope" is technically a compound microscope. A set of multiple lenses mounted in a desktop style that allows the compounding of magnification. A compound microscope is the standard microscope in any basic lab setting. Anything more "simple" than a compound microscope would not even really be a microscope, it would either be a telescope, or simpler than that is a magnifying glass (with a single lens) The inventor of the magnifying glass was: Roger Bacon The next step up is the telescope invented by: Zacharias Jansen The next step up is the "compound microscope" which was also invented by: Zacharias Jansen (this is the simplest form of what would be recognized as or named "microscope") If you wanted to go even "simpler" and define microscope as anything that magnifies, there were reading glasses around for thousands of years prior, and even "reading stones" which were lumps of polished glass used to magnify parchment in Egypt as far back as 7000 B.C. (inventor unknown). So it really depends on how you wish to refine your meaning of simple. The magnification of anything? There is no known inventor for reading stones, his name is lost to time. Or if you mean the first invented microscope that could examine things too small for a human eye to detect, that's a compound microscope. Thus if I am guessing your meaning correctly, you meant to ask this question: Question: Who invented the compound microscope? Answer: Zacharias Jansen
When was the microscope created?
Cornelis Drebbel from Netherlands is credited with the building of the first microscope in 1 620.
What is the two function of the eyepiece on microscope?
1. To provide a stable platform, so that the eye can more easily stay focused on the object. 2. To exclude external light sources.
What microscope uses two of more glass lenses to magnify living or prepared slides?
All microscopes use more than 1 lens. A magnifying device with only 1 lens is called a magnifying glass.
Does a compound microscope only have 1 lens?
No. If it only has one lens, then it's just a magnifying glass, not a microscope.

What is the difference between a simple and compound microscopre?
simple microscope only have 1 lens and compound microscope uses 2 lens \
How is a simple microscope and a compound microscope different?
The difference lies in the number of lenses that each microscope has. A compound microscope has 2 or more lenses, like those found in most science classrooms. A simple microscope uses only 1 lens.
Are there more than 1 microscope in the world?
Deffinently Yes
What happen if the microscope lens touch the slide?
1. The lens could break the slide or slip 2. The lens could make contact with a fluid on the slide, and suck the fluid up around the edges of the lens. It could even damage the lens. In any case, it would take a lot of bucks to have the microscope repaired.
How many lenss are in a compound light microscope what is the function of the lenss?
The simplest optical microscope is the magnifying glass and is good to about ten times (10X) magnification. The compound microscope has two systems of lenses for greater magnification, 1) the ocular, or eyepiece lens that one looks into and 2) the objective lens, or the lens closest to the object.
What is the power of the high power lens?
scanning-40x low-100x high-400x
What type of microscope will you use to observe 1 the pores of human skin 2 the sex of a fruit fly 3 spores of fern?
a compound lens microscope should do the trick
What are the powers of the objective lens in the microscope?
The function of the lenses of a compound microscope is that they help you see better and more detailed at the object. And also, the field of view is ten times greater than the magnification so you can see even better.
When is the magnification of the microscope greater than 1?
Always.
