To review:
A microscope is a valuable tool in the development of the scientific area. Magnifying lenses have been known for as long as recorded of our history, although it was not until the advent of the modern compound light microscope while that the device was used in biology.
Introduction:
A compound microscope is also used in the biological field and composed of two elements a primary magnifying lens and a secondary lens system, which similar to a telescope.
