∙ 10y agoShort Answer:
A basic compound microscope has two lenses, one located near the specimen called the objective and a second located at the observation point that is called the eyepiece or ocular. Modern compound light microscopes can have a number of lenses and complex optics.
Explanation:
A single lens is enough to magnify a subject and that is a simple magnifying glass. To magnify an object a great amount with a single lens introduces distortions of various sorts which are much reduced by an appropriate combination of two lenses. As a result, greater magnification with image clarity can be achieved.
The objective lens performs the task of collecting a great deal of light from the subject and does most of the magnification of the subject and the eyepiece adjusts the focus of the resulting light so the observer's eye can process the image. All modern compound microscopes have an eyepiece containing more than one lens providing additional image quality and magnification.
There are many variations on the basic design that have evolved since its invention 400 years ago.

∙ 14y agothe ocular lense is the one you look through with a magnification of 10 and the objective lenses are the ones at the bottom that you can turn to change total product of the magnification. example an ocular lense of times 10 and an objective lense of 40 times would be 10 times 40 so you would have a total magnication of 400 times.
hope this helps

Does a compound microscope have one lens?
Most microscopes have 4 to 5 lenses. The lenses are:The three Objects (which are the three things that you use to microscope)The lens that you you put your on.And the mirror lens.
How two converging lenses are used to view an object on a compound microscope?
The ocular and objectives
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.
What is a microscope with 2 eyepieces?
I suppose that the question is related to monocular or binocular microscopes. Monocular is the microscope in which you use only one eye to see the specimen, you need to close one eye to see something like in the telescope. On the other hand binocular microscope have two eye pieces like normal binoculars. Hope this information be helpfully www.surMedical.com Team
How many lenses does a simple microscope have?
Robert Hookes microscope had either two or more lenses. a simple microscope has one lens in it.
What is a light microscope that has two more lenses?
A compound microscope
Microscope using two lenses?
compound microscope
What is a light microscope having two lenses called?
a compound microscope
Why is the microscope called a compound 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.

Are there two concave lenses in a compound microscope?
Yes there is
What is a type of microscope made up of two or more lenses?
compound microscope
What year was the compound microscope made?
It was made in 1660 and it is a microscope that has two or more lenses
Type of microscope made up of two or more lenses?
The type of microscope that you are looking for is known as a "compound microscope."A pair of lenses includes the objective lens (one or more) and the eyepiece lens.
A light microscope that has two or more lenses is called a?
binoculars Binocular refers to having two ocular lens tubes. Compound microscope is any microscope with more than one lens.
What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?
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.
What did hans janssen do for science?
him and his son helped invent the compound microscope by putting two lenses together warning they did not invent the microscope but did invent the compound microscope
