A compound microscope is used to magnify small objects such as algae, bacteria, diseases, etc.
The compound microscope is used to examine cells, bacteria, and other organisms
A compound microscope, like the common optical microscope is used to study objects too small to see with the naked eye. The difference between a common optical microscope, and a compound microscope is the number of objective lenses. A compound microscope will contain several lenses. This reduces distortion, and gives one multiple lenses with which to adjust magnification.
The "teaching" microscope.Second Answer:The compound microscope is the most common classroom microscope.

Both the compound microscope and dissecting microscope use lenses to magnify objects. They both have adjustable focus and are used for viewing specimens in detail, but the compound microscope is more powerful and used for viewing smaller specimens at a cellular level, while the dissecting microscope is used for larger specimens at a lower magnification.
The base of a compound microscope is the very bottom of the microscope. You hold it with one hand and you hold the arm with your other hand to avoid breaking the microscope.

The first usable compound microscope people used was about 1655 by Robert hooke! :)
a compound light microscope
A stereo microscope shows two slides side by side at the same time and is used for comparison. A compound microscope only shows one slide.
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.

A simple microscope has only one lens and is used for magnifying small objects, while a compound microscope has multiple lenses and is used for magnifying very small objects with higher magnification and resolution.
