A compound microscope has two sets of lenses (objective and eyepiece) that magnify the specimen. In contrast, a simple microscope only has one lens. Additionally, compound microscopes are typically used for higher magnification and resolving power compared to simple microscopes.
Compound microscopes (also called compound light microscopes) employ light and an array of glass lenses to magnify an object. (This is distinguished from a simple microscope of one lens.) An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify an object. The lensing system employs electric and magnetic fields and is specialized for applications requiring much higher magnification. See related links.
A compound microscope uses multiple lenses in its system to magnify the image multiple times, allowing for higher powers of magnification compared to a simple microscope that only uses one lens. The compound microscope's use of objective and eyepiece lenses working together in a series enlarges the image, making it appear larger and clearer.
A compound microscope typically ranges in size from 10-20 inches in height, with the base being around 6-8 inches wide. The specific dimensions can vary based on the manufacturer and model of the microscope.

Ions are distinguished by their charge and ratio in chemical formulas. The charge of each ion determines how they combine to form a neutral compound through the crisscross method. The crisscross method helps ensure that the total positive charge equals the total negative charge in the compound.
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.

The maximum resolution of a compound microscope is approximately 0.2 micrometers, also known as 200 nanometers. This is the smallest distance between two objects that can still be distinguished as separate entities when viewed through the microscope.
it is one of the parts of a compound microscope
A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.
One can purchase a compound light microscope from an online science supply store, including Microscope Master and Lab Essentials. One can also buy a compound microscope from shopping websites such as Overstock and eBay.
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. See related links.

Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
