In an experiement things that are changing are called variables.
I think the answer is= simple/uses surrounding light source and is restricted in magnification.
compound uses an electrical light source but is restricted in magnification also. an electron microscope has electrical magnification and light source so you can see smaller cells when dyed the rt. color..plse double check, good luck..
