I think it's because it has a compound lens, but I'm not sure.

The light mircoscope and compound micrososcope are two different microscopes therefore they aren't the same, but they are similar. There is also the combined version of that, which is called the compound light microscope. Also light microscopes consist of two lenses to focus light which magnifies objects under it, while compound microscopes are used for higher magnification, which helps in examining very small objects such as a bacteria.
