Scientific Laboratory Microscope
This upright lab equipment displays an optical microscope structure featuring a top viewing eyepiece tube connected to an adjustable body column. A flat specimen stage sits above a heavy metal base designed to keep the magnifying instrument stable during research work.
How Optical Microscopes Work
Optical microscopes use convex glass lenses to refract light and enlarge tiny objects that are invisible to the naked eye. The bottom light source shines light through a slide specimen placed on the stage, while objective lenses amplify the image up to a thousand times. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek built early single-lens microscopes in the seventeenth century to discover microorganisms in water drops.
