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.
there is a miniature flash light inbeded into it
Most microscopes have a small lamp below the place where the glass slide is attached.
It depends on the design of the light microscope you are using. Modern microscopes use electric bulbs, but older designs use a mirror to reflect light from the Sun.

Optical or Light microscope
A magnifying glass has one lenses and a compound light microscope has 2 lenses
a magnifying glass, a telescope or microscope all do this.
The is usually a glass mirror at the bottom of the microscope to project light up into the thing where you put the object. Do not cover the glass, or you wont be able to see the material you are studying. Also if the is no sunlight, use a light bulb or something...
