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.

What else can I help you with?
If 2 lenses of a compound microscope are 5X and 30X what will be the total magnification?
you must multiply the two lenses getting a total of 150X
How many lenses do simple microscopes use?
Just One A Convex one a simple microscope is a simple magnifier?
What instrument should be used to examine objects in a greater than 200x?
To examine objects at magnifications greater than 200x, a microscope is typically used. For most applications, a compound microscope is suitable, as it can achieve high magnifications through the combination of objective and ocular lenses. For even higher magnifications, such as those needed in microbiology or materials science, a specialized microscope like a digital microscope or an electron microscope may be required.
What instrument magnifies upto 15x?
A microscope is an instrument that can magnify objects up to 15x or more, depending on its design and lenses. Simple microscopes typically use a single lens, while compound microscopes employ multiple lenses to achieve higher magnification levels. Some handheld magnifying glasses can also provide up to 15x magnification for viewing small details.
What instrumet should be used to examine objects at greater than 200x?
To examine objects at greater than 200x magnification, a compound microscope is ideal. This instrument uses multiple lenses to achieve high levels of magnification and is suitable for observing small specimens like cells and microorganisms. For even higher magnifications, such as in the study of fine structures, an electron microscope may be used, which can exceed magnifications of 1000x.
What type of microscope has multiple lenses?
A compound microscope has multiple lenses
What is a light microscope that has two more lenses?
A compound microscope
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 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 the different between a magnifying glass and a compound light microscope?
A magnifying glass has one lenses and a compound light microscope has 2 lenses
What means compound in compound microscope?
2 or more lenses.
What is a light microscope having two lenses called?
a compound microscope
What has a tube with lenses a stage and a light?
compound light microscope
What is a compound microscope used for in lab equipment?
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.

Are there two concave lenses in a compound microscope?
