Optical Microscope

An optical microscope is a device that uses visible light and lenses to magnify small objects, making them easier to see in detail. It allows scientists and students to observe tiny structures such as cells, bacteria, and fibers that are invisible to the naked eye. The microscope works by passing light through or reflecting off the specimen, then focusing it with lenses to enlarge the image. It’s an essential tool in biology, medicine, and materials science for examining the microscopic universe with clarity and precision.
