Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The light microscope is an instrument for visualizing fine detail of an object. It does this by creating a magnified image through the use of a series of glass lenses, which first focus a beam of light onto or through an object, and convex objective lenses to enlarge the image formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compound Microscopes Typically, a compound microscope is used for viewing samples at high magnification (40-1000x), which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens (in the eyepiece) and the objective lenses (close to the sample).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The compound microscope uses lenses and light to enlarge the image and is also called an optical or light microscope (versus an electron microscope).

Detailed explanation-5: -Microscopes use convex lenses in order to focus light.
