Detailed explanation-1: -Compound microscopes can have up to four objective lenses of different magnifications, and the microscope can be adjusted to choose the magnification that best suits the viewer’s needs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fancier instruments that we typically think of as microscopes are compound microscopes, meaning that they have multiple lenses. Because of the way these lenses are arranged, they can bend light to produce a much more magnified image than that of a magnifying glass.

Detailed explanation-3: -A convex lens can bend light and make an object appear larger by creating a larger virtual image that your eye can see. A magnifying glass is the simplest kind of microscope–a convex lens with a handle attached.

Detailed explanation-4: -The optical microscope, often referred to as the “light optical microscope, ” is a type of microscope that uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ordinary light microscopes are equipped with three objective lenses (5 ×/10 ×, 40 ×, and 90/100 ×), and two ocular (5 ×, 10 ×) lenses.
