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.

A compound subject consists of two or more subjects joined by a conjunction that share the same verb. A common misconception is that a compound subject always requires a plural verb; however, if the subjects are considered a single unit or refer to the same entity, a singular verb may be appropriate. For example, in the sentence "Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite sandwich," the compound subject acts as a single item, justifying the singular verb "is."
Compound subjects have at least two parts joined by or . . . nor, not only . . . but also, or and, as in snacks and fruit juice, and each part may be singular or plural. A plural subject has just one word as the simple subject, but that word is plural (like plates). Finally, a collective subject contains a simple subject representing a group (such as jury, which describes a group of twelve); the collective subject may be singular (jury) or plural (juries).
