Light in an optical microscope is either provided by light reflected off the mirror under the 'stage' - or by a battery/mains powered light bulb.
light source: An attached lamp that directs a beam of light up through the object.
The Mirror to be exact and the Diaphragm specifically the Iris and Disc Diaphragm
The main parts of an optical microscope are: the eyepiece, objective lense and light source (sometimes a mirror). The objective lense has a short focal length so it produces an image a little bit up the microscope's tube which is then magnified by the eyepiece. Resolution is dependant on the numerical appeture of the lense and the wavelenght of the light source used.
magnifying parts are the components that enlarge the optical image through the microscope. mechanical parts are what adjusts the zoom of the microscope. together these parts create the whole microscope.

The Function of a base in a microscope, light microscope that is, is to provide the stage with a light source as well as provide a support for the lens of the Microscope.

The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
compound light microscope - cell theory - electron microscope
light source: An attached lamp that directs a beam of light up through the object.
