  1. A convex lens bends the light that goes through it toward a focal point. The light spreads out again past this focal point. Magnifying glasses are convex lenses. When you use one, the lens bends the light rays so that they come together and focus on the lens within your eye. The light then spreads out as the rays continue past the focal point, and they hit the retina of the eye. The spreading of the light makes the image viewed appear much larger than it really is because it causes the image to take up more space on the retina. Moving the magnifying glass closer or farther away from the eye will change how much the light is spread on the retina. The closer the magnifying glass is to the eye, the bigger the image will appear.
  2. For short the lense bends light and reflects it back to make it look bigger. LoL what a invention :D

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.
