What way does a compound microscope differ from a simple microscope?
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.
Does a compound microscope have one lens?
Most microscopes have 4 to 5 lenses. The lenses are:The three Objects (which are the three things that you use to microscope)The lens that you you put your on.And the mirror lens.
What parts of the microscope does magnification refer to?
With an optical microscope, the lenses
What is the resolving power of a scanning electron microscope?
the resolving power of light microscope is 0.2 micrometr
What instrument was used to discover the cell?
A simple version of a compound microscope was used to discover cells. Robert Hooke first described cells in 1665, using a compound microscope. Soon after, Anton van Leeuwenhoek also studied cells using a microscope with more advanced lenses.
How many lenses do simple microscopes use?
Just One A Convex one a simple microscope is a simple magnifier?
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.
Microscope made up of two or more lenses?
Yes, two lenses can make a simple microscope. More are usually used. A magnifying glass - one lens - is the simplest microscope.
How many lenses does a compound microscope have?
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. See related links.
Does a microscope contain one or more glasses lenses?
Yes it does. A simple microscope can be made forma drop of water acting as a single lens. However scientific microscopes have several glass lenses. Please note that there are other forms of microscope that have no lenses, for instance a force microscope (which can "see" individual atoms") and and electron microscope.

Microscope objective lenses?
Microscope objective lenses are the lenses that you can select on the microscope to change to field of view and magnification.
How many lenses are there in a microscope?
there 3 types10x45x100x
Why is the microscope called a compound microscope?
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.
