In one of the previous posts, Types of Microscopes, we have listed many types of Microscopes like:
Compound Light Microscopes:

Although there are many different types of compound microscopes, the steps for using them are pretty much the same.
1. If you haven’t used a microscope so far, you have to get to know the microscope and its parts, so you can follow next steps. Also, you have to take great care of your microscope, since it is a sensitive “gadget”.
2. Once you have you microscope, you’ll have to place it on a flat surface. There has to be enough free space, so that you have where to put and prepare your material. [Read more…] about How to Use a Compound Microscope in 12 steps
In microscopy, the numerical aperture of an optical system such as an objective lens is defined by:
where n is the index of refraction of the medium:
and θ is the half-angle of the maximum cone of light that can enter or exit the lens.

This microscope is very precise and it’s perfect for ages above 12. It can be also used from 6 to 12 years, but with parental supervision. It is well built for its price and should last many, many years with proper care.
Like every microscope, it requires good care and will serve you many years.
Introducing Promotion Set:
In order to get to the answer of this question, we have to make it clear what a Compound Microscope is. It is a magnifying object that features at least two lenses placed in a tube: an eyepiece and an objective lens, used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye, using the light.
You’ll say: you’ve described all the microscopes.
Well, yes. Generally, all today’s light microscopes, except for the 3D (stereo) microscopes, are Compound microscopes. So, what we are going to answer is who developed today’s light microscopes.
But first, a little bit of pre-compound microscope history. [Read more…] about Who developed the compound microscope
