4. HOW IT WORKS
Microscope is made of tubes packed with lenses and curved pieces of glass that bend light rays passing through
them.
The simple microscope is made from a single convex lens, which typically magnifies by about 5–10 times.
Most compound microscopes can magnify by 10, 20, 40, or 100 times, but though professional ones can
magnify by 1000 times or more.
So what does a microscope actually do?
