Compound microscopes have more than one lens. The first (objective) lens magnifies the object to produce an image. Subsequent lenses magnify an image produced by a previous lens.

Leeuwenhoek's "microscope" had only one lens -- simple magnification only.

How was the first compound microscope different than Anton van leeuwenhoek microscope?

The first compound microscope had multiple lenses for magnification and was generally larger and more complex in design. Anton van Leeuwenhoek's microscope, on the other hand, was a simple single-lens design, with a tiny but powerful lens that enabled him to see tiny organisms that were previously unseen.


How does a compound microscope different from a simpel microscope?

a compound microscope has two or more lens while a simple microscope has only one lens


What is the difference between Janssen's microscope and Leeuwenhoeks?

Janssen's microscope was a compound microscope with a series of lenses for magnification, while Leeuwenhoek's microscope was a simple, single-lens microscope. Janssen's microscope allowed for higher magnification and better resolving power compared to Leeuwenhoek's microscope. Additionally, Janssen's microscope was more complex and had a more refined design than Leeuwenhoek's simple microscope.


What is a light microscope that has two more lenses?

A compound microscope


What is the different between a magnifying glass and a compound light microscope?

A magnifying glass has one lenses and a compound light microscope has 2 lenses


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.


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.


How many types of microscope are?

There are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope, Dissection microscope, etc,but all together there are about 20 different types of microscopes.


How did zacharias janssen make Anton van leeuwenhoeks discoveries possible?

There is no apparent connection between van Leeuwenhoek who developed his simple (single lens) microscope system and the work of Zacharias Janssen is associated with the compound (two lens) microscope invented in 1590. Van Leeuwenhoek was unable to use the compound microscope because magnification was too low. The microscopes built by van Leeuwenhoek (around 1670) had ten times the magnification of the compound microscopes of the day. One could say that Janssen helped van Leeuwenhoek succeed by getting everyone else to use the inferior microscope.

Are Microscopes simple or compound?

There are different types of microscopes, and some are simple and some are compound. It depends on which microscope you are talking about.
