What are the Different Types of Optical Microscopes?
Microscopes are instruments that allow the user to see things on a larger scale by producing an accurate enlarged image of small objects. Microscopes are classed by the way in which the image is enlarged. Types of microscopes include acoustic microscopes, electron microscopes, X-ray microscopes, and optical microscopes—also called the light microscope—the subject here. Optical microscopes use glass lenses to produce the enlarged images. They come in several different configurations: simple optical microscopes use only a single lens, while compound optical microscopes combines two or more arrays of lenses.
