Best Answer

Microscopes uses the same trick as refracting telescopes. They bend the light as it travels through the glass. In a microscope, the idea is to bend diverging lights into a parallel path, then focus that path into a light beam creating a spread out yet zoomed in image of what is on the microscope slide.
