10 Questions
What is the magnification of the ocular lenses?
10x
What are the magnification options for the objective lenses?
4x, 10x, 40x, 100x
How do you calculate the total magnification?
Multiply the magnification of the ocular lens by the magnification of the objective lens.
What is the shape of a concave lens?

What is a lens?
A lens is an instrument that refracts (or bends) light in such a way as to allow the user to see the world around them in a different way.

What is the difference between a simple lens and a compound lens?
A simple lens uses a single lens to refract light, while a compound lens uses multiple lenses.
How does a compound microscope work?
A compound microscope uses multiple lenses to increase the viewer's capacity to magnify an object.
What is the advantage of a compound microscope over a simple lens?
A compound microscope has a greater capacity to magnify an object because it uses multiple magnifying lenses to 'compound' its magnification power.
