Compound
The Outfitter Store: Compound Microscopes
This is the most common type of microscope. It can also be referred to as a biological or research microscope. The compound microscope is what many refer to as a high power microscope. The magnification (power) can have a range from about 40x to 1000x and some can go up to 1500x or 2000x. Much serious work of a compound microscope is done at 400x to 500x. Compound refers to the fact that in order to enlarge an image, a single light path passes through a series of lenses in a line where each lens magnifies the image over the previous one. In other words, one light path with multiple lenses equals a compound microscope. The image is seen by the observer as if it were only 10" (250mm) from your eye.
