A microscope is a device which helps us to see very minute things, such as micro-organisms, which would normally be far too small to see with the naked eye. They do this by magnifying images on small trays under lenses and a light.
There are many types of microscopes available, but we mostly use optical microscopes in the school or college laboratory.

∙ 13y agoThe basic microscope is an optical instrument that uses a lens or a combination of lenses to produce magnified images of small objects, especially of objects too small to be seen by the unaided eye. Modern instruments, such as an electron microscope, use electronic or other processes to magnify objects in a similar way.
Microscopes are used in industrial processes, in investigation of living cells, in comparative studies of chemistry and geology, and in diagnostic medicine. Biologists and doctors use microscopes on cell samples, on small organisms, and on chemical structures, to classify and analyze them and their functions.
