A light source on a microscope helps make the object that you're looking at easier to see.
It brightens up the view so the object can be seen more clearly and can be more "in focus".

What is the difference between light and reflected light?
Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.). Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.
What do you look through in a light microscope?
Any organic substance or sample thin enough to let light through.
What the most major difference between telescope and microscope?
A telescope must gather large amounts of light from a dim, distant object; therefore, it needs a largeobjective lens to gather as much light as possible and bring it to a bright focus. Because the objective lens is large, it brings the image of the object to a focus at some distance away
A photograph of a specimen taken through a compound light microscope is called?
Photomicrograph
What did Ansel Adams use as a light source?
Natural light. The vast majority of Adams' work is landscape photography.
What tool is used for seeing it has a tube lenses a stage and a light source?
compound light microscope
What does a light source do on microscope?
It
What is the microscope light source used for?
Without the light source, you wouldn't be able to see your sample very well!
What is a lamp on a microscope?
A steady light source used in place of a mirror. it is used to reflect light from an external light source up through the bottom of the stage
When handling a microscope what do I check if I don’t see enough light?
IF YOU HAVE A MICROSCOPE THAT DOES NOT HAVE AN INTERNAL LIGHT SOURCE, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE EXTERNAL LIGHT SOURCE THAT IS PROVIDED IN THE CABINET WITH THE MICROSCOPE.
What is the source of magnification in light microscope?
Light.
What types of microscope do scientist use?
compound and light microscopes are used in some labs compound uses a mirror to reflect and a light gives a light source to it
What kind of microscope has a tube with lenses a stage and a light source?
compound light microscope
What is the function of an base on the microscope?
The Function of a base in a microscope, light microscope that is, is to provide the stage with a light source as well as provide a support for the lens of the Microscope.
What is a transmission electron microscope used for?
The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
What kind of light source does your microscope have?
mirroor
What is the light source for the SEM system?
A Scanning Electron Microscope, or SEM, is a type of electron microscope. Its light source is from a beam of high voltage electrons.
