1)lower the body tube by using the coarse adjustment

2)check the distance between objectives and stage.(at least 1 cm.)

3)look through the eye piece@set the mirror to gather enough light.put the slide on stage.

How can a compound microscope be distinguished from one that is not?

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.


Why can a compound microscope achieve higher powers of magnifications than a simple microscope?

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.


What is the size of a compound microscope?

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.

What is the difference between a compound microscope and an electron microscope?

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.

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 light microscope called a compound microscope?

Does a compound microscope have only one lens?

No, a compound microscope uses multiple lenses to magnify the image of a specimen. It typically has an objective lens close to the specimen and an eyepiece lens near the observer's eye. These lenses work together to provide high magnification and resolution.

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.


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 optical microscope?

What way does a compound microscope differ from a simple 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.
