Question

why is compound microscope also called light microscope

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two main types of light microscopes: COMPOUND and STEREO microscopes. COMPOUND MICROSCOPES are so called because they are designed with a compound lens system. The objective lens provides the primary magnification which is compounded (multiplied) by the ocular lens (eyepiece).
