GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A compound microscope is an upright microscope that uses two sets of lenses (a compound lens system) to obtain higher magnification than a stereo microscope.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common laboratory scopes, the compound microscope (also referred to as light or compact microscope) and the stereomicroscope (also referred to as a dissecting microscope), have different uses.

Detailed explanation-4: -The compound light microscope is a tool containing two lenses, which magnify, and a variety of knobs used to move and focus the specimen. Since it uses more than one lens, it is sometimes called the compound microscope in addition to being referred to as being a light microscope.

Detailed explanation-5: -The light microscope. The common light microscope used in the laboratory is called a compound microscope because it contains two types of lenses that function to magnify an object. The lens closest to the eye is called the ocular, while the lens closest to the object is called the objective.
