A compound light microscope is a microscope with more than one lens and its own light source. In this type of microscope, there are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen.

Although sometimes found as monocular with one ocular lens, the compound binocular microscope is more commonly used today.
