Answer 1

So you want to know, when will we use simple Microscope and when we use Compound Microscope ? Right

● Simple microscope :- microscope with a single lens is known as simple microscope.

● Compound Microscope :-Microscope having more than 2 components.It can be objective lens or an eyepiece lens, filter and condenser lens also.


☆ Uses of Simple Microscope & Compound Microscope ☆


☆ Uses of Simple Microscope☆

(i) used for a basic study , where there is no requirement of research.

(ii)Uses for enlarging the small letter while reading.

(iii)It has only one lens for magnifying object, so it is used for basic magnification purpose.



☆ Uses of Compound Microscope☆

(i) It has large amount of lenses , so it is used for research purposes.

(ii) Used for enlarging the different types of biological structures , living cell organism etc.

(iii) It gives magnification by multiplication of eyepiece and objective lens.
hence it is used in higher magnification purpose like in Astrophysics.
