A microscope that uses two or more lenses is typically referred to as a compound microscope. This type of microscope utilizes an objective lens to gather light and magnify the specimen, while an eyepiece lens further magnifies the image for viewing. The combination of these lenses allows for higher magnification and resolution compared to a simple microscope, which usually has only one lens. Compound microscopes are commonly used in laboratories for biological and material sciences.

What are 2 examples for an optical system?
A camera lens system, which uses a combination of lenses to focus light onto a sensor or film to capture an image. A microscope system, which includes lenses and mirrors to magnify an object for observation.
What are 2 names for the part of the microscope that you look through?
The part of the microscope that you look through is commonly called the eyepiece or ocular lens. It magnifies the image produced by the objective lenses, allowing you to see the specimen clearly.
What are the names of the 2 lenses of the microscope?
The two main lenses of a microscope are the objective lens and the ocular (or eyepiece) lens. The objective lens is located near the specimen and typically has varying magnifications, while the ocular lens is situated at the top and is what the viewer looks through to see the magnified image. Together, they work to enhance the detail visible in the specimen being observed.
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
What are the 2 function of the revolving nosepiece?
The revolving nosepiece, also known as the turret or nosepiece of a microscope, serves two primary functions: it holds multiple objective lenses and allows for easy rotation between them. This enables users to quickly switch between different magnifications without having to change the entire lens system. Additionally, it helps maintain the correct alignment of the lenses with the optical path, ensuring clear and focused images.
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.
What microscope uses 2 lenses and a light?
A compound microscope uses 2 lenses (objective lens and eyepiece lens) along with a light source to magnify and view samples at high magnification.
What uses 2 or more lenses to magnify living cells?
A microscope uses two or more lenses to magnify living cells. Light passes through the specimen and through a series of lenses, allowing the user to see a magnified image of the cells. This technique is commonly used in biology and medicine for studying cells and tissues.
What means compound in compound microscope?
2 or more lenses.
What is the different between a magnifying glass and a compound light microscope?
A magnifying glass has one lenses and a compound light microscope has 2 lenses
What 2 things does a microscope have?
A microscope has lenses and an adjustable stage. The lenses magnify the specimen being observed, while the adjustable stage allows for precise positioning of the specimen under the lenses.
What is the difference of a microscope and a human eye?
A microscope uses lenses and light to magnify and view objects that are too small to be seen by the human eye. It can provide very high levels of magnification and resolution. In contrast, the human eye uses a complex system of lenses and the retina to perceive images of the external world.
Does a compound microscope have one lens?
A compound microscope has two lenses: the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens is used to gather light from the specimen and create a magnified image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing.
What are 2 examples for an optical system?
A camera lens system, which uses a combination of lenses to focus light onto a sensor or film to capture an image. A microscope system, which includes lenses and mirrors to magnify an object for observation.
If 2 lenses of a compound microscope are 5X and 30X what will be the total magnification?
you must multiply the two lenses getting a total of 150X
Part of the microscope made up of 2 or more lens?
The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains the ocular lens, also called the eyepiece lends, and the objective lens system which consists of one or more lenses.
What is a microscope with 2 eyepieces?
A microscope with 2 eyepieces is called a binocular microscope. This type of microscope allows for viewing with both eyes simultaneously, providing a more comfortable and natural viewing experience. Binocular microscopes are commonly used in laboratories and educational settings.
