The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains two lens systems, the objective lens composed of one or several lenses that magnify the image of the object being examined, and the ocular lens at the eyepiece end. The magnification of the microscope depends on the focal lengths of the two lens systems.
The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains the ocular lens which focuses the image from the objective lens and allows you to view the image on the stage.
A compound microscope uses multiple lenses to magnify the image, allowing for higher magnification and resolution compared to a simple magnifying lens. The compound microscope also has a light source to illuminate the specimen, enabling better visibility of details. Additionally, compound microscopes typically have adjustable focus and magnification levels for more precise viewing.

A compound microscope uses a combination of two lenses - the objective lens and the eyepiece lens. The objective lens captures and magnifies the image of the specimen, which is then further magnified by the eyepiece lens. By working together, these lenses increase the size of the image produced, allowing for greater magnification and visualization of tiny details on the specimen.
The object being examined is placed directly under the objective lens of a compound microscope. The objective lens is the lens closest to the specimen and is used to magnify the image of the object.
The three general parts of a microscope are the eyepiece (ocular lens), the objective lens, and the stage where the specimen is placed and viewed. These parts work together to magnify and focus light onto the specimen for observation.
A light microscope is an optical microscope. That differentiates it from an electron microscope, a quantum mechanical tunneling microscope and others.
A magnifying lens
The microscope contains an objective lens at the top of the body tube. This lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen being viewed, focusing the light, and producing an initial image for further magnification.
A compound microscope uses a series of magnifying lenses to observe small objects. This type of microscope typically consists of an eyepiece lens and objective lenses to achieve increasing levels of magnification.
A simple microscope similar to a magnifying lens.
optical microscope
On each lens of a Microscope there is a marking that states the magnification power.
Magnifying glass is thing which we hold in our hand to magnify a certain thing and we can adjust its magnification with our hand. But the simple microscope which has the same property (or better principle) of a magnifying glass, is fixed to a scale for adjusting through a knob. If you have ever seen a travelling microscope, you would have seen a small lens attached to the vernier scale. this is not a magnifying glass but a simple microscope with a specific/fixed magnification of the scale for eyes.
the light microscope
No. If it only has one lens, then it's just a magnifying glass, not a microscope.
