you must multiply the two lenses getting a total of 150X
The term compound microscope normally refers to a light microscope that uses two or more lenses to magnify objects. (Two lenses does not refer to the number of eye pieces as does the term binocular microscope.) This is to be distinguished from a simple light microscope with a single lens. There are many modern variations of the light microscope which have more specialized names but which may still be "compound" with the meaning that they have multiple stages of magnification. See related links.
The true magnification observed
Just One A Convex one a simple microscope is a simple magnifier?
The coarse focusing mechanism is the rough focus knob on the microscope. It is used to move the objective lenses toward or away from the specimen.
A light microscope is called a compound microscope because it uses multiple lenses (a compound of lenses) to magnify the image of a specimen. This allows for higher magnification and resolution compared to a simple microscope.
The magnification of a microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the objective lens in use. This calculation gives the total magnification of the microscope for observing specimens. Different combinations of eyepieces and objective lenses can result in varying levels of magnification.
The total magnification would be 100x. This is because when two lenses are used together, the magnification of each lens is multiplied to find the total magnification. So, 10x magnification from the first lens multiplied by 10x magnification from the second lens gives a total magnification of 100x.
No, the magnifying power is not simply the sum of the magnifications of the two lenses. In a compound microscope, the total magnification is the product of the magnification of the objective lens and the eyepiece lens.
A compound microscope is named so because it uses multiple lenses to magnify the image of a specimen. This differs from a simple microscope, which uses only one lens. The combination of lenses in a compound microscope allows for higher levels of magnification and resolution.
The microscope invented by Robert Hooke is known as the compound microscope. It was one of the earliest microscopes with multiple lenses for magnification.
True. A compound microscope has multiple lenses that allow for different levels of magnification, typically ranging from 40x to 1000x or higher.
The compound microscope is called compound because the modifier compound means "two or more." A compound microscope has two or more lenses lenses. This is to be distinguished from a simple microscope which has one lens. Such a microscope is structurally equivalent to a magnifying glass, though not necessarily a hand held lens.
A compound microscope, like the common optical microscope is used to study objects too small to see with the naked eye. The difference between a common optical microscope, and a compound microscope is the number of objective lenses. A compound microscope will contain several lenses. This reduces distortion, and gives one multiple lenses with which to adjust magnification.

Microscope objective lenses are the lenses located close to the specimen in a compound light microscope. They magnify the image of the specimen and transmit it to the eyepiece for viewing. Objective lenses come in various magnifications, such as 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x, which allows for different levels of magnification and detail in the specimen being observed.
The compound microscope got its name because it uses multiple lenses (a combination or compound) to magnify the object being viewed. This design allows for higher magnification and a greater level of detail than a single-lens or simple microscope.
