The correct answer is false. A compound microscope can magnify something up to 200 times and further. A compound microscope is a microscope with more than one lens and its own source of light. Today's strongest compound microscopes have magnifying powers of 1000 times to 2000 times.
A microscope is an instrument used in many scientific fields including biology and chemistry to magnify the image of an object and therefore study and look at it, which is not possible without a microscope due to the limitations of the human eye. Additionally, a compound microscope is a type of microscope that includes multiple lenses to magnify objects and therefore, allows scientist to observe the same object with different sizes. About this, it is important to mention the range objects can be magnified depends on the type of microscopes but in general terms, this type of microscope include lenses that magnify objects from 10 times to around 400 times, and especial microscopes can magnify objects up to 1000 times. Thus, it is false a compound microscope can magnify something only up to 200 times.
