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.

The objective lenses are the optical element that gathers light from the 'object' being observed and they focus the light rays to produce a real image.
Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.

The another name for a compound microscope is a light microscope, as it uses light to illuminate the specimen being observed.
A compound light microscope is named for the use of more than one lens to collect and focus light, and magnify the image.

A light microscope is called a compound microscope because it uses multiple lenses (a compound of lenses) to magnify the image of a specimen. This allows for higher magnification and resolution compared to a simple microscope.
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.
