Types of Microscopes Explained

The microscope is a tool that allows the observation of objects too small to be seen with the naked eye through the use of lenses that produce magnified images. There are various types of optical and electronic microscopes designed for specific purposes such as the observation of particles, fluorescence, or dark field. The main components of a traditional optical microscope are the eyepieces, the optical tube, the arm, the stage, and the objectives.

The microscope is a tool that allows us to observe objects that are too small to be seen.

observed with the naked eye. The most common type and the first to be invented was the optical microscope.
It is about an instrument that contains two lenses that allow obtaining an enlarged image of the object and that
It works by refraction. The microscope increases the observation capacity to levels of magnification such
that makes the analysis of particles possible. The image obtained is truly an investigation into
the composition of objects.
