This is an ideal microscope with high magnification for educational purposes /learning science. Compound or biological microscopes selected especially for Students across all Grades in addition to College students and Medical School students. A compound microscope is a high power (high magnification) microscope that uses a compound lens system. A compound microscope has multiple lenses compounded (multiplied) by the eyepiece lens to obtain a high magnification. Higher magnification is achieved by using two lenses rather than just a single magnifying lens. While the eyepieces and the objective lenses create high magnification, a condenser beneath the stage focuses the light directly into the sample.
