The light microscope is an instrument for visualizing fine detail of a body part. It does this by creating a magnified image through the use of a series of glass lenses, which first focus a beam of light onto or through an object, and convex objective lenses to enlarge the image formed. They can be used to examine a wide variety of types of specimens, frequently with minimal preparation. Light microscopes can be adapted to examine specimens of any size, whole or sectioned, living, or dead, wet, or dry, hot, or cold, and static or fast-moving. They offer a wide range of contrast techniques, providing information on the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of specimens. The image from a light microscope is presented in color. It can be observed with the eye directly, recorded by photographic, video or computer techniques, and image components can be analyzed.
