What in a microscope uses a beam of visible light passing through one or more lenses to magnify an object?

No, a beam of electrons is used by an electron scanning microscope. A light microscope uses light waves either reflected off the surface of the object under study, or passed through the object from beneath. Some people might consider a light wave as a type of electron beam, but for the purposes of microscopy, the ESM is capable of far greater magnification than the LM.

What produces an image of a specimen by passing visible light through it?
Its a Light Microscope! (=
Is cytoplasm visible with a light microscope?
The cytoplasm is somewhat clear when looking through a light microscope. However you can see where the cytoplasm is. You can see cell walls and cell membranes through a light microscope, the spaces in between these lines is cytoplasm.
What microscope uses visible light?
The light microscope uses visible light. Light microscopes are what are usually used in science classrooms.
Are dyads visible during mitosis?
Yes, with a microscope. During mitosis, the chromatins condense to form chromosomes, which are visible under a microscope.
Why is the light microscope called a compound microscope?
Because it is made up of more than one lens. A simple microscope is make up of one lens (a hand held magnifying glass can also be considered as a simple microscope). In a compound microscope, one cannot see the magnified image until both the lenses are used.

Is flagella viewable through an electron microscop or a light microscope?
Eukaryotic flagella are visible through a light microscope. Bacterial flagella are only visible with a light microscope if they are specially stained with a mordant and a flagella stain.
What is visible evidence of energy passing through the water?
A wave is visible evidence.
Organism visible only through microscope?
micro organism
Is there are difference between an optical microscope and a microscope?
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.
How can you separate the color of visible light?
This is normally done by passing the light through a prism.
What microscope uses visible light?
The light microscope uses visible light. Light microscopes are what are usually used in science classrooms.
Two parts of the microscope that regulate the amount of light visible through the ocular are the?
The condenser and iris diaphragm.
What are the advantage and disadvatges of a light microscope?
The advantages and disadvantages of the light microscope relate to light, magnification and resolution. Light microscopes magnify visible light--an obvious advantage, since this is what our eyes can see. Magnification (how large an object appears) and resolution (the clarity of details) are both limited when using light microscopes.
Is an amoeba visible without a microscope?
no
