The mirror, which can also be called the light source. It reflects the light.

Why do you cut a very thin slice of specimen to look under light microscope?
The light is reflected upwards, and passes through the specimen. It passes through easier (clearer) if the specimen is not too thick.
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.
What structure does light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
Specimen
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.
Can compound light microscopes view living specimen?
Yes it can.
What is a condenser for?
It concentrates the light on the specimen. ---Co0leTs24
What is Abbe condenser?
An Abbe condenser is a condenser composed of two lenses which concentrates and controls the light which passes through a specimen before the light enters the objective of a microscope.

What is the function of mirror of a microscope?
It is you will adjust the mirror to get more light onto the specimen :)

What is the function of the codenser lens in the compound light microscope?
The function of a condenser lens is to focus the light onto a specimen. Condenser lenses are most useful at the highest powers of 400 x and above. Microscopes with a condenser lens render a sharper image than those with no lens. These lenses are able to move up and down.
Which part of a light microscope fouceses light onto the spicemen through the lens?
condenser - lens system that aligns and focuses the light from the lamp onto the specimen diaphragms or pinhole apertures
Why are specimen thin?
because the thinner it is the clearer it is too see inside
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 happens to the light rays when they hit the specimen?
They are reflected, refacted, or absorbed by the specimen.
Reflects light to the specimen?
mirror
What are the light source of the microscope for?
to generate light, so the specimen can be examined (sends light through base, diaphragm, stage specimen, slide, objective lens, nose-piece, body, body tube, and eyepiece)
