    A compound microscope has two sets of lenses that provide a 2-dimensional magnified image of the sample. It contains an eyepiece the viewer looks through, objective lenses that can be changed to magnify the object at different levels, a stage to hold the slide, and a condenser and light source to illuminate the sample being viewed. The various parts allow for magnification, illumination, and focus of the sample.
