How Do Microscopes Work?
Answer
A microscope is a device that produces a clear magnified image of an object as viewed through the lenses. A compound microscope works by having an objective lens as well as an eyepiece lens that not only adequately magnify objects, but they also resolve and separate the fine details of the objects being viewed.
1 Additional Answer
The most common microscope is the optical microscope and it works by using visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples. When the specimen is placed on the stage of a light microscope, the observer sees through the eyepiece and the light enables to see the specimen. The light source can be a lit bulb or a mirror.
