Can anyone tell me about compound microscope?
Answer:
Compound optical microscope
The compound microscope uses a set of many lenses in order to maximize magnification. The diagram below shows a compound microscope. In its simplest form - as used by Robert Hooke, for example - the compound microscope would have a single glass lens of short focal length for the objective, and another single glass lens for the eyepiece or ocular lens. Modern microscopes of this kind are usually more complex, with multiple lens components in both objective and eyepiece assemblies. These multi-component lenses are designed to reduce aberrations, particularly chromatic aberration and spherical aberration. In modern microscopes the mirror is replaced by a lamp unit providing stable, controllable illumination.
