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.
What lens of a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined?
The 'object lens' in a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined.
What do the lenses on a microscope do to the light as it passes through them - and how does this affect the way an object appears when the light reaches your eye?
The lenses in a microscope diffract (bend) the light as it passes through them. The effect is that an object appears clear and large (is focused and magnified) when the light reaches your eye. Also, microscope designs usually ensure that the object appears right-side-up.
What is the difference of compound microscope to digital microscope?
The compound microscope is the simple microscope used in the early days for higher magnification to view specimens such as cells. The compound microscope is the standard microscope used commonly nowadays. The digital microscope is a type of optical microscope which makes use of camera and optics to be able to view the images from the microscope to the computer.
How many lenses does a simple microscope have?
Robert Hookes microscope had either two or more lenses. a simple microscope has one lens in it.
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.
Describe compound microscope with ray diagram?
A compound microscope consists of two lenses: an objective lens and an eyepiece. The objective lens forms a real and inverted image of the object being viewed, which is then magnified by the eyepiece. A ray diagram would show parallel rays of light from the object converging at the focal point of the objective lens, then producing a virtual image that is further magnified by the eyepiece.
What is the differnece between a simple microscope and compound microscope?
A simple microscope has only one lens and can magnify an object up to 15 times the object's size. A compound microscope has two lenses and can magnify an object more than 2,000 times.
How did the compound microscope get its name?
The compound microscope got its name because it uses multiple lenses (a combination or compound) to magnify the object being viewed. This design allows for higher magnification and a greater level of detail than a single-lens or simple microscope.
What part of compound microscope magnifies object?
The objective lenses of a compound microscope are the parts that magnify the object being viewed. These lenses are located close to the specimen and provide the initial magnification before the image is further magnified by the eyepiece.
What is a microscope called using two lenses?
It is a compound microscope because it has more one lens between the object and eye of the viewer.
Why is light microscope called a compound microscope?
A compound light microscope is named for the use of more than one lens to collect and focus light, and magnify the image.
What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?
The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.
Magnifies by allowing light to pass through an object and then through two or more lenses?
a compound light microscope

What microscope has two sets of lenses to magnify an object?
A compound microscope has two sets of lenses to magnify an object: the objective lens (located near the specimen) and the eyepiece lens (located near the observer's eye). The combination of these lenses allows for greater magnification and resolution of the sample being observed.
How does a compound microscope use lenses to magnify an object?
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.
