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.
What kind of microscope uses two or more glass lenses to magnify either living cells or prepared slides?
A compound microscope uses two or more glass lenses to magnify either living cells or prepared slides. This type of microscope is commonly used in laboratories and educational settings to study cells and microorganisms at a cellular level.

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.
What is a compound microscope?
The term compound microscope normally refers to a light microscope that uses two or more lenses to magnify objects. (Two lenses does not refer to the number of eye pieces as does the term binocular microscope.) This is to be distinguished from a simple light microscope with a single lens. There are many modern variations of the light microscope which have more specialized names but which may still be "compound" with the meaning that they have multiple stages of magnification.
Type of a microscope made up of two or more lenses?
If a microscope has more than one lens, it is called a compound microscope.
What is a type of microscope made up of two or more lenses?
A compound microscope is made up of two or more lenses. These lenses work together to magnify and focus light onto a specimen, allowing for detailed observation of small objects.
What year was the compound microscope made?
It was made in 1660 and it is a microscope that has two or more lenses
Microscope made up of two or more lenses?
Yes, two lenses can make a simple microscope. More are usually used. A magnifying glass - one lens - is the simplest microscope.
What type of microscope is made up of two or more lenses?
A compound microscope is made up of two or more lenses arranged in a series to magnify the specimen being viewed. This type of microscope is commonly used in laboratories and educational settings for observing tiny objects or organisms at high magnification.
What instrument uses light and lenses is used to view cells?
An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
Does a microscope contain one or more glasses lenses?
Yes it does. A simple microscope can be made forma drop of water acting as a single lens. However scientific microscopes have several glass lenses. Please note that there are other forms of microscope that have no lenses, for instance a force microscope (which can "see" individual atoms") and and electron microscope.
What is a light microscope that has two more lenses?
A compound microscope
