Best Answer

Two types of microscope use two types of illumination.

The old reflect mirror type use a mirror beneath the slide to gather light from the room and concentrate it on the slide. You wiggle the mirror around while looking through the 'scope until you get the brightest field.

The second type of microscope uses an integral light source located beneath the slide. These are expensive, because the light must be as pure as possible and evenly bright across the viewing field.
