You can't, if you mean a microscope with a single, tiny, spherical lens. A sphere allows you to observe an object closer to your eye than 10 inches (which is conidered the closest, normal viewing distance for the human eye). A sphere one inch in diameter allows you to observe an object just as close (or one inch). Since this is ten times closer to your eye, the object appears with a magnification of 10 power. If you want to see an object (through a single lens) with even more magnification, you need a smaller sphere. It's possible to produce spheres with diameters less than 1/10th of an inch. A single spherical lens that small creates maginifications of 100 power. Onwards and Upwards, Paul

low power
The lens that you should use to first look at a slide on a microscope is a low power lens then move on to a higher power for more clarity.
The high-power objective on a microscope is larger lens with higher magnifying power. (40x)
The eyepiece lens of a compound microscope acts essentially a low power (x10 or so) magnifier of the real image created by the objective lens.

A magnifying lens
The high power objective in a microscope is the largest lens in the microscope.
On each lens of a Microscope there is a marking that states the magnification power.
the objective lens has the power of that lens inscribed on it
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
A microscope should be stored in low power objective lens because the lens can scratch against the lens.
