Does a compound microscope only have 1 lens?

No. If it only has one lens, then it's just a magnifying glass, not a microscope.


How did the compound light microscope get its name?

it uses light to help you see the object and it has more than on lensIt uses light to see, and it is compound because it uses more than 1 lens.


An object is located 51 millimeters from a diverging lens the object has a height of 13 millimeters and the image height is 3.5 millimeters how far in front of the lens is image located?

Since the image height is smaller than the object height, it is a virtual image. Using the thin lens equation (1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i), where d_o is the object distance and d_i is the image distance, and assuming a diverging lens, the image distance is found to be -17.17 mm. This means the image is located 17.17 mm in front of the lens.


Who discovered the simple microscope?

Short answer: Zacharias Jansen Long answer: Your question is not valid for 2 reasons: 1. You cannot "discover" something if it does not exist. You should be asking who invented it, not who found it laying around somewhere. 2. A "simple microscope" is not common terminology. Simple compared to an electron microscope? or simple compared to a compound microscope? What is typically referred to as just "microscope" is technically a compound microscope. A set of multiple lenses mounted in a desktop style that allows the compounding of magnification. A compound microscope is the standard microscope in any basic lab setting. Anything more "simple" than a compound microscope would not even really be a microscope, it would either be a telescope, or simpler than that is a magnifying glass (with a single lens) The inventor of the magnifying glass was: Roger Bacon The next step up is the telescope invented by: Zacharias Jansen The next step up is the "compound microscope" which was also invented by: Zacharias Jansen (this is the simplest form of what would be recognized as or named "microscope") If you wanted to go even "simpler" and define microscope as anything that magnifies, there were reading glasses around for thousands of years prior, and even "reading stones" which were lumps of polished glass used to magnify parchment in Egypt as far back as 7000 B.C. (inventor unknown). So it really depends on how you wish to refine your meaning of simple. The magnification of anything? There is no known inventor for reading stones, his name is lost to time. Or if you mean the first invented microscope that could examine things too small for a human eye to detect, that's a compound microscope. Thus if I am guessing your meaning correctly, you meant to ask this question: Question: Who invented the compound microscope? Answer: Zacharias Jansen


When was the microscope created?

Cornelis Drebbel from Netherlands is credited with the building of the first microscope in 1 620.

What microscope uses two of more glass lenses to magnify living or prepared slides?

A compound microscope uses two or more glass lenses to magnify living or prepared slides. The objective lens closest to the specimen magnifies the image, and the eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing.

What is the difference between a simple and compound microscopre?

simple microscope only have 1 lens and compound microscope uses 2 lens \


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.


Are there more than 1 microscope in the world?

Deffinently Yes

How many lenss are in a compound light microscope what is the function of the lenss?

The simplest optical microscope is the magnifying glass and is good to about ten times (10X) magnification. The compound microscope has two systems of lenses for greater magnification, 1) the ocular, or eyepiece lens that one looks into and 2) the objective lens, or the lens closest to the object.


How can you cange the power of a single- lens microscope?

You can't, if you mean a microscope with a single, tiny, spherical lens. A sphere allows you to observe an object closer to your eye than 10 inches (which is conidered the closest, normal viewing distance for the human eye). A sphere one inch in diameter allows you to observe an object just as close (or one inch). Since this is ten times closer to your eye, the object appears with a magnification of 10 power. If you want to see an object (through a single lens) with even more magnification, you need a smaller sphere. It's possible to produce spheres with diameters less than 1/10th of an inch. A single spherical lens that small creates maginifications of 100 power. Onwards and Upwards, Paul


What are the powers of the objective lens in the microscope?

The function of the lenses of a compound microscope is that they help you see better and more detailed at the object. And also, the field of view is ten times greater than the magnification so you can see even better.


What happen if the microscope lens touch the slide?

1. The lens could break the slide or slip 2. The lens could make contact with a fluid on the slide, and suck the fluid up around the edges of the lens. It could even damage the lens. In any case, it would take a lot of bucks to have the microscope repaired.


What microscope uses multiple glass lenses to help distinguish details of thickness?

A compound microscope uses multiple glass lenses to magnify and distinguish details of thickness on specimens. This type of microscope typically consists of two main lenses: the objective lens and the eyepiece lens, which work together to produce a magnified image of the specimen.


What objects has more than 1 lens?

Cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and binoculars are examples of objects that have more than one lens. Multiple lenses are used to magnify and focus light in these optical devices for various applications such as imaging, observation, and measurement.
