the object appears light on a dark background
Because it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens (a hand held magnifying glass can also be considered as a simple microscope). In a compound microscope, one cannot see the magnified image until both the lenses are used.

A light microscope
An electron microscope is named as such because it uses a beam of accelerated electrons to generate high-resolution images of objects at a much higher magnification than light microscopes. This electron beam is used to visualize the object being studied, allowing for extremely detailed and magnified views.

Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
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 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.
because the pre-fix "micro" means small or out of foucus and the suffix "scope" means to see
He called it a microscope.
It is a compound microscope because it has more one lens between the object and eye of the viewer.
the electron microscope is called that because it uses beams of electrons to accurately measure distances on atomic scales
because it just is
because it has many compound parts to the microscope ex. body tube, ocular lens,coarse adjustment(rough), and fine adjustment (sharp)
the microscope
The first microscope was called the "simple microscope" or "single lens microscope". It was developed in the late 16th century and consisted of a single convex lens used to magnify small objects.
Zacharias Janssen's first microscope was called the "simple microscope" or "single lens microscope." It consisted of a single convex lens and was an early version of the compound microscope.
