-
A m. consisting of two essential optical parts: (1) a converging lens or lens system, called an objective, to give an enlarged, inverted real image of an object; and (2) an ocular acting like a simple m. to give an enlarged virtual image of the real image. Unless an erecting prism is used, the image seen in a compound m. is therefore always inverted.

Procollagen Proline Dioxygenase
- mixed-function oxygenase that catalyzes hydroxylation prolyl-glycyl-containing-peptide, usually in protocollagen, hydroxyprolylglycyl-peptide. The enzyme utilizes molecular oxygen with a concomitant oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate to succinate. EC 1.14.11.2.
