What advice would you give someone about how to collect light to shine into a microscope?
light is collected by a mirror at the base of the microscope. The mirror is held in special joints that allow it to move in any direction. The light comes from a lamp or from a sunless sky. It must never be collected directly from the sun as this can cause sever eye damage and blindness. Some microscopes have a built-in lamp instead of a mirror. The light either shines directly through a hole in the stage onto the specimen or it passes through a hole in a diaphragm.
