A microscope is any device used to view an entity that is otherwise invisible to the unaided eye, or to view better details of a very small visible object. An optical microscope is one type that uses the refractive properties of a series of lenses to magnify an image for viewing i.e. a standard lab microscope.

What is the difference between optical and electron microscope?

Optical microscopes use visible light to magnify objects, providing lower resolution images compared to electron microscopes which use beams of electrons to achieve higher magnification and resolution. Electron microscopes are able to see smaller objects in more detail due to the shorter wavelength of electrons compared to visible light.
