Yes, there are all kinds of microscopes. Everyone can magnify objects some just magnify more than others.

Do microscopes use mirrors to magnify objects?
No, they use lenses. :)
What is the main difference between compound light microscopes and electron microscopes?
light microscopes direct light onto the slide and magnify it, light microscopes also have a high and low power objective lens which can magnify up to 10, 40, 43 and 100 times total magnification whilst electron microscopes shoot electrons at the slide which give more detail and accuracy but the disadvantage is it can't view objects in color. electron microscopes can magnify up to 500.000 times total magnification.Light microscopes aren't as strong as an electron microscope in respect to zooming power. The specimen can remain alive in light microscope but for electron microscopes, preparation of the slides will kill the specimen.
What is the light function in a microscope?
Light microscopes can magnify objects up to 1000 times their actial size, and they are often used for dissections. Light in the light microscope allows the viewers to see the specimen that is being magnified.
The best light microscopes can magnify images up to how many times?
1000X
How can microscopes see small objects?
Your phrasing is a bit sloppy. Microscopes do not see anything. People can use microscopes to enable them to see extremely small objects. Microscopes use lenses to bend light in such a way as to magnify images. A microscope is more powerful than a magnifying glass because more than one lens is used, in series. The light is bent, and then bent again, for even more bending.
How are a microscope and a telescope different?
Both microscopes and telescopes use lenses to magnify objects. But, telescopes are large and collect light from stars and planets to magnify them, while microscopes are small, can sit on a desktop, get light from the room or a small builtin light and are used to magnify tiny objects.
How are a microscope and a telescope alike?
Both microscopes and telescopes use lenses to magnify objects. But, telescopes are large and collect light from stars and planets to magnify them, while microscopes are small, can sit on a desktop, get light from the room or a small builtin light and are used to magnify tiny objects.
How are a microscope and telescope alike and different?

How do microscopes magnify objects?
they magnify every thing because their mikeroscopes
Do microscopes use mirrors to magnify objects?
No, they use lenses. :)
What the microscope can not do?
Microscopes cannot view viruses as viruses are smaller than the wavelength of visible light (about 0.2 microns). To view extremely tiny objects, scientists use electron microscopes. Electron microscopes use electron beams instead of light to magnify objects less than 1nm!

What do electron microscopes use instead of light to magnify?
it is the neutrons
What size can Light microscopes can magnify objects?
Most light micrscopes can be magnified to about 400, but a high tech light microscope can magnify up to 1500. According to my VLA (virtual learning) If this is what you are looking for, its 1,000 times __________________________________________________________________ -Up to about 1,000 times its size.
What is a light in a microscope?

What do microscopes use to make things look bigger?
light microscopes uses light and lenses to magnify things look bigger .
When would you use an electron microscope?
when you need to magnify much smaller objects then optical microscopes
