A microscope is a device that magnifies very small items so they can be seen and studied. A light microscope does this by using light passed through a slide containing whatever you are trying to look at, then through lenses and mirrors to an eyepiece.

another type of microscope is the electron microscope which passes electrons (much smaller then waves of light) through the substance to a reciever that then projects the image onto a computer screen allowing much greater levels of magnification.
