When viewing a specimen through a hand lens, you can see in slightly greater detail than your naked eye, but you may not be able to see micro organisms. With a microscope, you can see things in MUCH greater detail, and you can see micro organisms. With a hand lens, you cannot change the power of magnification, while with a microscope, you can change the power of the magnification. With a hand lens, only one lens is used to magnify an object, while a compound microscope uses two lenses (one in objective lens, one in eyepiece). With a hand lens, you can view a specimen from far away, while an objective lens has to be fairly close to a specimen in order to view it clearly. With a hand lens, you can simply move your hand forward, or backward, to focus on an object. With a microscope, a very complex mechanism is used in order to portray some sort of depth while viewing. This is adjusted by using a coarse, and a fine adjustment knob.
