Light Microscope

A light microscope is an optical instrument that uses visible light and lenses to magnify small objects, such as cells and bacteria, allowing us to see them in detail. It works by shining light through a specimen and focusing the light through lenses to create a magnified image. This tool is essential in biology and medical research for studying the structure and function of cells. Unlike electron microscopes, which use electrons and can achieve higher magnifications, light microscopes are more accessible and easier to use, making them a fundamental tool in science and education.
