Examining something under a microscope is called microscopy.
This is called electron microscope.
Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
The shortest object in a microscope is called the "specimen" or the "sample." It is the object or material being observed under the microscope.
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.
a compound microscope
If you are talking about a microscope - it is called the stage.
