Which microscope uses a series of lenses to magnify an object in steps a) electron microscope b) simple microscope c) compound light microscope d) scanning microscope

The right answer is C. Compound light microscope.

The compound microscope was invented around 1589 by two Dutch opticians, Hans and Zacharias Janssen. It was the father and the son. A fortuitous circumstance led them to notice that two lenses, suitably distant from each other, give small objects an inverted and enlarged image.

The compound microscope consists of two groups of lenses. The first group, the lens projects a real intermediate image enlarged and inverted to the focal plane of the eyepiece. The second group, the eyepiece that behaves like a magnifying glass, gives an enlarged and inverted virtual image of the intermediate image.
