Compound microscopes (also called compound light microscopes) employ light and an array of glass lenses to magnify an object. (This is distinguished from a simple microscope of one lens.) An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify an object. The lensing system employs electric and magnetic fields and is specialized for applications requiring much higher magnification. See related links.

Depends which eyepiece you have inserted.
No
The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.
The compound microscope is called compound because the modifier compound means "two or more." A compound microscope has two or more lenses lenses. This is to be distinguished from a simple microscope which has one lens. Such a microscope is structurally equivalent to a magnifying glass, though not necessarily a hand held lens.

no. a simple microscope has one lens. a compound microscope has two or more lens
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.

compound microscope is one
binoculars Binocular refers to having two ocular lens tubes. Compound microscope is any microscope with more than one lens.
A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.
a compound microscope has two or more lens while a simple microscope has only one lens
it is one of the parts of 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.
One can purchase a compound light microscope from an online science supply store, including Microscope Master and Lab Essentials. One can also buy a compound microscope from shopping websites such as Overstock and eBay.
