Often called the bright field microscope. It has more than one lens and its own light source

Uses compound lenses and light to magnify objects. The lenses bend or refract the light, which make the object beneath them appear closer.

Uses a particle beam of electrons to visualize specimens and generate a highly-magnified image.

Projects and scans a focused stream of electrons over a surface to create an image.

It is usually found in most schools.

This type of microscope also uses electrons, but instead of scanning the surface the way of SEMs do, electrons are passed through very tiny specimens.

This type of microscope allows scientists to review much smaller objects to seen with light microscope

Don’t use light waves.

This refers to the size of an object as it appears under a scope than it is.

It refers to how details are rendered

This refers to the distance through which you can move the specimen and still maintain the focus
