The lenses in a compound microscope consist of an objective lens and an eyepiece (ocular) lens. The objective lens collects light from the specimen and magnifies the image, while the eyepiece further magnifies that image for viewing. Typically, multiple objective lenses with varying magnifications are mounted on a rotating nosepiece, allowing users to switch between them easily. This combination of lenses enables detailed observation of small specimens at high magnifications.

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.


Why is a light microscope also called a compound 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.

What is a compound microscope used for in lab equipment?

A compound microscope, like the common optical microscope is used to study objects too small to see with the naked eye. The difference between a common optical microscope, and a compound microscope is the number of objective lenses. A compound microscope will contain several lenses. This reduces distortion, and gives one multiple lenses with which to adjust magnification.
