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

How can you change the power of a single-lens microscope?

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.

What is the difference between Janssen's microscope and Leeuwenhoeks?

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.
