    A light microscope uses visible light to magnify and observe small objects. It has lenses that focus light on a specimen to magnify its image. There are two main types - simple microscopes with a single lens providing low magnification, and compound microscopes with multiple lenses providing higher magnification. Compound microscopes have objective lenses closest to the specimen, an eyepiece the viewer looks through, and a nosepiece that holds interchangeable objectives of different magnifications. Together the lenses and light source allow small specimens to be enlarged for examination.

    WHAT IS A LIGHT MICROSCOPE ?
    Light microscopy refers to the use of any kind of microscope that
    uses visible light to observe specimens.
    A light microscope is a biology laboratory instrument or tool,
    that uses visible light to detect and magnify very small objects
    and enlarge them.
    It is so-called because it employs the use of white or visible light
    to illuminate the object of interest so it can be magnified and
    viewed through one or a series of lenses.
    •They use lenses to focus light on the specimen, magnifying it thus
    producing an image. The specimen is normally placed close to the
    microscopic lens.
    •Microscopic magnification varies greatly depending on the types
    and series of lenses that make up the microscope. Depending on the
    number of lenses, there are two types of microscopes i. e Simple
    light microscope (it has low magnification because it uses a single
    lens) and the Compound light microscope (it has a higher
    magnification compared to the simple microscope because it uses
    at least two sets of lenses, an objective lens, and an eyepiece).
    •The lenses are aligned in that, they can be able to bend light for
    efficient magnification of the image.
    TYPE OF MICROSCOPE

    The modern types of Light Microscopes include:


    1. Brightfield Light Microscope (Compound light microscope)
    2. Phase Contrast Microscope
    3. Dark-Field Light Microscope
    4. Fluorescent Microscope
