A compound light microscope has a higher quality magnification than a dissecting microscope. It also has multiple lenses compared to the dissecting microscope's one lens.

Answer:

The compound microscope is more advanced than the dissecting microscope. It has high magnification than the dissecting microscope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dissecting microscope is a simple microscope. Its magnifying capacity is not more. This microscope has one lens or eyepiece. It provides a 3D image of an object. They are good at showing the small parts of small organisms such as wings of the dragonfly, different parts of cockroach, etc. The compound microscope is more advanced than a dissecting microscope. It has a high magnifying capacity i.e.2000x. The compound microscope has 2 lenses - one is eyepiece and the other is the objectives. It has a light-adjusting knob. One can see small specimens through this microscope such as cells of different organs like blood, skin, tissues, and some bacteria.
