Normally a light microscope. Electro-microscopes are only really used in scientific laboratories
Optical, though to see smaller organelles and structures in higher resolution an electron microscope may be necessary.

Yes, the noun 'microscope' is a common noun, a general word for an instrument that uses lenses to magnify small objects; a word for any microscope of any kind.

The optical microscope is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples. Van Leeuwenhoek's microscopes consisted of a single, small, convex lens mounted on a plate with a mechanism to hold the material to be examined. Demonstrations by British microscopist Brian J. Ford have produced surprisingly detailed images from such basic instruments. A simple microscope is a microscope that uses only one lens for magnification, and is the original light microscope.The use of a single, convex lens to magnify objects for viewing is found today only in the magnifying glass, the hand-lens, and the loupe. The compound microscope uses a set of many lenses in order to maximize magnification. Modern microscopes of this kind are usually more complex, with multiple lens components in both objective and eyepiece assemblies. These multi-component lenses are designed to reduce aberrations, particularly chromatic aberration and spherical aberration. In modern microscopes the mirror is replaced by a lamp unit providing stable, controllable illumination.in simpler terms, up to a 1000 times.

Zacharias Janssen was the first person to invent the microscope and the kind of microscope he made was a compound microscope--a microscope that uses two or more sets of lenses. Plus, the first compound microscope (by Zacharias) was made around 1595 in Middleburg, Holland.

The first microscopes were called Light Microscopes, and they work by passing visible light through whatever specimen is being observed and then through the glass lenses of the microscope. The lenses refract the light and magnify the image of the specimen as it is projected into the eye. Modern microscopes use beams of electrons instead of light. There are two main type of Electron Microscopes: Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). SEMs are used to observe the surface of a specimen, and TEMs are used to observe the internal structure of specimens.
