What are the differences between a microscope and a hand lens?
When viewing a specimen through a hand lens, you can see in slightly greater detail than your naked eye, but you may not be able to see micro organisms. With a microscope, you can see things in MUCH greater detail, and you can see micro organisms. With a hand lens, you cannot change the power of magnification, while with a microscope, you can change the power of the magnification. With a hand lens, only one lens is used to magnify an object, while a compound microscope uses two lenses (one in objective lens, one in eyepiece). With a hand lens, you can view a specimen from far away, while an objective lens has to be fairly close to a specimen in order to view it clearly. With a hand lens, you can simply move your hand forward, or backward, to focus on an object. With a microscope, a very complex mechanism is used in order to portray some sort of depth while viewing. This is adjusted by using a coarse, and a fine adjustment knob.
What do you call a microscope that has more than one lens?
A microscope that has more than one lens is a compound microscope
What is An advantage of a compound light microscope over a single lens microscope?

How much bigger a microscope make things appear?
the ability of a microscope to enlarge is called magnification.
Which lens is thicker in the center than at the edges in a microscope?

what do you call a microscope with more than one lens?
Compound microscope.
Why is the light microscope described as a compound microscope?

What is the difference of a microscope and a human eye?
A monocular microscope has only one eyepiece while a binocular microscope has two eyepieces with different lenses. Binocular microscopes are more popular today than the monocular microscope for professional use. To learn more about microscopes and its uses visit the website in the link below.
Why is the light microscope called the compound microscopes?
Because it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens (a hand held magnifying glass can also be considered as a simple microscope). In a compound microscope, one cannot see the magnified image until both the lenses are used.
