Compare between the two light microscope:

Solution

Feature

1. Similar functional parts : source of light is same - visible light is used by focusing the light either through lenses or prism on the specimen.

2. Dissimilar functional parts : Compound microscope- has multiple objective lenses with one eyepiece;

Dissecting Microscope- has single objective lens with two eyepiece lenses

3. Purpose of use : Dissecting microscope: used to perform small dissections under the microscope and to view live specimen , compound microscope- used to visualise things that are too small to be seen via the naked eye.

7. Maximum magnification: Compound microscope- up to 1000x ; Dissecting microscope- up to 70x

4. Image dimension : -

5. Image orientation : -

6. Image development: no image development or orientation or dimensions- these are all properties of electron microscopes
