A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of microscope that gives a three-dimensional view of the specimen by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons. The image produced by an SEM provides detailed topographical information of the specimen's surface.
A fluorescence microscope is used to observe a specimen that emits light when illuminated with ultraviolet light. This type of microscope is equipped with filters that allow it to capture the emitted light while blocking out the excitation light, resulting in fluorescent images of the specimen.

a compound light microscope
A compound light microscope allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lenses (objective and eyepiece) to form an image. This type of microscope is commonly used in laboratories and educational settings for viewing cells, tissues, and other small specimens in detail.
A compound microscope is made up of two or more lenses. These lenses work together to magnify and focus light onto a specimen, allowing for detailed observation of small objects.
A binocular microscope, which is commonly called a dissecting scope.
The electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses electrons to enlarge and illuminate an image of a specimen.
One type of electron microscope is a transmission electron microscope (TEM). This microscope passes a beam of electrons through a thin specimen to create an image. Another type is a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which scans a focused beam of electrons across the surface of a specimen to create a detailed image.
A virtual image of a specimen is produced by an optical microscope, which magnifies the specimen using lenses to create an enlarged view that is visible to the human eye. This type of microscope does not require direct contact between the specimen and the lens, hence producing a virtual image.
A microscope that uses a beam of electrons to examine a specimen is called a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). This type of microscope generates high-resolution images by transmitting electrons through a thin specimen to create a detailed image of its internal structure.
The purpose of the light source in a microscope is to illuminate the specimen being viewed. Proper illumination is essential for clear visualization of the specimen under the microscope. Different types of lighting can be used depending on the type of specimen and the desired contrast.
The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) uses a focused beam of electrons to scan the surface of a specimen. These electrons interact with the specimen's atoms, producing signals that can be used to create images with detailed information about the specimen's surface features.
a compound light microscope
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be used to view nonliving specimens such as metals, ceramics, or other inorganic materials. It is not suitable for viewing living specimens due to the vacuum conditions and electron beam used in the imaging process.
