- A compound microscope is a magnifying microscope with a compound lens system that has a high magnification.
- The objective lens (usually 4x, 10x, 40x, or 100x) is compounded (multiplied) by the eyepiece lens (often 10x) to achieve magnifications of 40x, 100x, 400x, and 1000x in a compound microscope.
- Using two lenses rather than simply one magnifying lens allows for greater magnification.
- A condenser beneath the stage concentrates the light straight into the sample, while the eyepieces and objective lenses provide great magnification.
