Question

Difference between compound and digital microscope

Answer 1

Traditional microscopes and Dino-Lite digital microscopes both use a lens (optical magnification) to provide an enlarged view of a specimen. A particular magnification value may appear more powerful using a traditional microscope compared to a digital microscope because magnification is defined differently between the two types of devices.

Using a traditional microscope magnification is the ratio of the actual size of the specimen to the size that it appears under the microscope. A digital microscope incorporates a computer and monitor with various physical dimensions and pixel resolutions and also software windows that can be resized to occupy more or less area on the screen.
