Compound Microscopes
The eyepiece system may be monocular, binocular or trinocular. Monocular observation uses one eyepiece, binocular observation uses two. Binocular observation is more comfortable, less fatiguing, and if the microscopist uses both eyes they are less strained than one eye with with monocular observation. Trinocular microscopes contain an additional upright ocular which is utilized when the microscope is used with a photo or video system.
Compound microscopes use only one objective at a time, although different ones are available on the objective turret.
To observe small animals in water, sections of plant parts, and/or animal and plant cells, a microscope with an overall magnification range from 25X to 400X is required. to examine bacteria, blood counts, chromosomes, etc. - the microscope's total magnification should reach 1000X.
