You can't, if you mean a microscope with a single, tiny, spherical lens. A sphere allows you to observe an object closer to your eye than 10 inches (which is conidered the closest, normal viewing distance for the human eye). A sphere one inch in diameter allows you to observe an object just as close (or one inch). Since this is ten times closer to your eye, the object appears with a magnification of 10 power. If you want to see an object (through a single lens) with even more magnification, you need a smaller sphere. It's possible to produce spheres with diameters less than 1/10th of an inch. A single spherical lens that small creates maginifications of 100 power. Onwards and Upwards, Paul
You can change the power of a single-lens microscope by adjusting the distance between the lens and the specimen. Moving the lens closer to the specimen increases the magnification, while moving it farther away decreases the magnification.
The eyepiece lens of a compound microscope acts essentially a low power (x10 or so) magnifier of the real image created by the objective lens.
The total magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the power of the objective lens by the power of the eyepiece lens. Given a total magnification of 200x and an eyepiece lens power of 10x, the power of the objective lens would be 200x/10x = 20x.
The lowest power of a microscope is typically 4x, known as the scanning objective lens.
The oldest microscope in the world is believed to be the Van Leeuwenhoek microscope, which was handcrafted by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century. This simple microscope was made of a single lens and is known for its high magnification power.

A magnifying lens
The low power objective lens on a microscope is also known as the scanning lens.
On each lens of a Microscope there is a marking that states the magnification power.
Janssen's microscope was a compound microscope with a series of lenses for magnification, while Leeuwenhoek's microscope was a simple, single-lens microscope. Janssen's microscope allowed for higher magnification and better resolving power compared to Leeuwenhoek's microscope. Additionally, Janssen's microscope was more complex and had a more refined design than Leeuwenhoek's simple microscope.
Zacharias Janssen's first microscope was called the "simple microscope" or "single lens microscope." It consisted of a single convex lens and was an early version of the compound microscope.
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
the objective lens has the power of that lens inscribed on it
The first microscope was called the "simple microscope" or "single lens microscope". It was developed in the late 16th century and consisted of a single convex lens used to magnify small objects.
What was the name of the first microscope?
The eyepiece lens of a compound microscope acts essentially a low power (x10 or so) magnifier of the real image created by the objective lens.
