Answer 1) A compound light microscope.

Explanation :  A compound light microscope is the one which can magnify the objects in steps. It is the optical instrument that uses light and a series of lenses to magnify objects in steps; and can magnify an object up to 1500 times than its original size.

Answer 2) An electron microscope

Explanation : An electron microscope which is able to magnify the smaller details in objects. It is capable of much higher magnifications and has a greater resolving power than a light microscope, allowing it to see much smaller objects in finer detail. hence, it was the type of microscope which was used to observe the first strands of DNA.

Answer 3) A compound light microscope

Explanation : A compound microscope is the instrument which contains a series of lenses. In which each lens has its own function. A lens close to the object which is being viewed to collect light is called as the objective lens and it focuses a real image of the object inside the microscope. Which is then accompanied by other lenses in series.

Answer 4) : A compound light microscope

Explanation : This microscope has many magnifying glasses in it. When the image from the objective lens is formed; then that image is magnified by a second lens or group of lenses which is called the eyepiece and it gives the viewer an enlarged inverted virtual image of the object.

Answer 5) : An electron microscope

Explanation : This microscope is the one which creates a digital image. It is done with the help of accelerated electrons as the source. The image obtained is normally detected by the digital camera and can be displayed on a monitor or computer.

Answer 6) A simple light microscope

Explanation : This is the simplest form of microscope which only uses one lens for magnification. It uses a magnifying lens as the main lens and focuses on the object which can be seen as the image.
