Dissecting and compound light microscopes are both optical microscopes that use visible light to create an image. Both types of microscope magnify an object by focusing light through prisms and lenses, directing it toward a specimen, but differences between these microscopes are significant. Most importantly, dissecting microscopes are for viewing the surface features of a specimen, whereas compound microscopes are designed to look through a specimen.
