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. A compound microscope provides a two-dimensional image, while a stereo microscope provides a three-dimensional image.

Detailed explanation-3: -Generally there are 3 to 4 lenses in a compound microscope. Moreover, all these lenses have different power (magnification).

Detailed explanation-4: -A compound microscope uses multiple lenses to magnify an image for an observer. It is made of two convex lenses . The first, the ocular lens, is close to the eye and the other lens is objective lens. Both the lenses are of different focal length because uses of both are different.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
