The light is reflected upwards, and passes through the specimen. It passes through easier (clearer) if the specimen is not too thick.

Why is it important for a specimen viewed under the microscope to be thin?
A specimen being viewed under a microscope should be thin so that light can pass through the specimen. The thinner it is the brighter it will be. A thick specimen will block the light and all you'll get is a dark grey image. Also, more detail can be seen in a thin specimen because there will not be parts in front of each other, blocking the view.
Why do you cut a very thin slice of specimen to look under microscope?
Based on other people's answers on other sites, the best answer I got was because the generated light source needs to ba able to shine through the specimen. This allows for better observations and to see individual cells.
Why must a specimen be thin in order to be viewed under the microscope?
Because light must pass through it.
What kind of specimen can be observed under interference microscope?
specimen observed
What part of the microscope delivers a concentrated beam of light to the specimen?
Some microscopes have a mirror under the specimen to reflect room light up through the specimen. Others have a light bulb down there.
Why must a specimen be very thin to be viewed under a light microscope?
Light microscope works because light goes *through* your specimen. So if the specimen is too thick, then light won't shine through, and you won't see anything.
What must be done there is too much light that illuminates the specimen you are observing under the microscope?
Turn down the light.

What is the small disk found under the stage that regulates the amount of light that reaches the specimen in a microscope?
It is called a diaphram.

Does a specimen have to be moving and respiring to be able to be seen under a light microscope?
No, I used light microscopes in my science class and it worked very well.
What is the object called that you look at under a microscope?
