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.


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.

A light microscope that has two or more lenses is called a?

A light microscope that has two or more lenses is called a compound microscope. Compound microscopes use two sets of lenses to magnify the image, typically consisting of an objective lens near the specimen and an eyepiece lens near the eye. This arrangement allows for higher magnification and resolution compared to simple microscopes.


Draw and label a compound microscope?

I'm unable to physically draw a diagram. However, a compound microscope consists of two lens systems: the objective lens and the eyepiece. Light passes through the specimen, is magnified by the objective lens, then further magnified by the eyepiece before reaching the observer's eye. The compound microscope is used for magnification of small objects and has a higher magnification capability compared to a simple microscope.
