Compare and contrast the structure and function of a compound light microscope and a dissecting microscope. Be sure to discuss when each would be more useful than the other.

Question

Compound Microscope
Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges.
It comes under the category of microscopes used in biology.
It has two lenses namely the objective lens and the ocular lens.
It provides a magnification of 1500X.
Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power.
It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

faman39 · Answer

Dissecting Microscope
It is also called stereo microscope.
Its magnification power is less than the other microscope.
It gives a 3 dimensional picture.
Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes.
They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.

For future FLVS students, if you're taking this course, IN THE TEXTBOOK is says "Compound light microscopes usually have more than one magnification power, ranging from 40 times up to 400 or even 1,000 times the true size of the specimen."
so, i'm not saying that @Faman39 is wrong, I'm just saying that this is exactly what it says in the lesson, and that is what your teacher will be looking for. If you copy and paste Faman's answer, they're think you're cheating to be honest. 
And, it also states in the lesson that Compound light microscopes can be used to view tissue samples, blood, microorganisms in pond water, microscopic cells, and some of the larger details within the cells.
