GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two types of microscopes are usually found in a science classroom – a stereo microscope (above – also known as a dissecting scope) or a compound light microscope.

Detailed explanation-3: -Light microscopes are the ones you’re most likely to find in the classroom or school science lab. They use visible (white) light to illuminate (light up) the object being looked at and focus the light using one or more glass lenses.

Detailed explanation-4: -We need microscopes to study most cells. Microscopes are used to produce magnified images. There are two main types of microscope: light microscopes are used to study living cells and for regular use when relatively low magnification and resolution is enough.

Detailed explanation-5: -Compound Light Microscope A compound microscope is the most common type of microscope used today, which mechanism is explained earlier. It is basically a microscope that has a lens or a camera on it that has a compound medium in between. This compound medium allows for magnifications in a very fine scale.
