Basic light microscope

Definition

A magnification instrument designed with a standard microscope configuration [the object viewed through an ocular(s) from above] used to magnify and study specimens and small objects by transmitted visible light. It is widely used in laboratories and for research and in healthcare facilities where there is a need for such magnification. The device consists of a stand that supports the main components, an ocular body in which the eyepieces are mounted, a nosepiece to support the objectives, a specimen stage, a condenser to focus the light on the specimen, and a source of light [e.g., tungsten (W), halogen] and light port.
