By using darkfield or oblique lighting. The easiest is oblique. Just put a piece of tape over about half of the bottom lens of your condenser. Now instead of the light hitting the object from directly below the light bounces in from the side. This kind of gives a 3D effect to the transparent object.
Darkfield uses the same principle except that you block the center portion with a circle of opaque material. It's called a "stop". It stops the light from coming through the center of the lens and again, illuminates the object from the side.
A lot of basic microscopy books will have this information in them. Also there are a lot of microscopy sites out there. Microscopy-UK.org is one; also Olympus (olympusmicro.com) and Nikon (microscopyu.com) have some good sites.

What is a compound microscope used for in lab equipment?
A compound microscope, like the common optical microscope is used to study objects too small to see with the naked eye. The difference between a common optical microscope, and a compound microscope is the number of objective lenses. A compound microscope will contain several lenses. This reduces distortion, and gives one multiple lenses with which to adjust magnification.

What is the smallest thing you can see using a microscope?
Bacteria is the smallest thing that can be seen using a microscope.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of monocular microscopes?
The advantages of a monocular microscope is that it is easier to use than a stereo microscope, a disadvantage of the monocular microscope is that it only has a singular eyepiece, therefore, it is harder to see the image. The advantages of a stereo microscope is having two eyepieces, it is easier to focus the eye, and therefore, you can see a more three-dimensional image. A disadvantage for the stereo microscope is that it is a lot more expensive than the monocular microscope.
What is the importance of contrast in microscopy?
There are many objects that are difficult to see with a microscope. The purpose of the contrast is to make it easier to see specimens that are transparent and unstained.
What type of microscope is used to see unstained living microbes and urine specimens for evidence of kidney stones?
Light microscope
What research microscope is used to see unstained living microbes and intracellular structures?
The microscope that is used to see internal structures of cells in a natural state is the compound light microscope. The microscope has a lens and light that allows it to see the internal structures of a cell clearly.
What do you use to see small objects?
microscope
What is differences do you see in the stained and unstained onion cells?
Stains were developed for different applications precisely because they make objects or features of objects easier to see and differentiate. The stains make things easier to see because they were made for that purpose.
What will happen if you do not have objects fully clicked into place on a microscope?
you will not see the objects fully
What is a science tool used to see smaller objects?
Microscope.
An instrument that enables scientists to see tiny objects?
microscope?
A typical human can clearly see an item as small as 0.5 mm across Which form of technology has enabled humans to see objects even smaller than this?
A magnifier lens or magnifying glass is used to see minute objects, and a microscope is used to see microscopic objects.
How does a microscope see small objects?
A microscope acts like a magnifying glass, only much more powerful.
What the purpose of a microscope?
The purpose of a microscope is to see microorganisms and to enlarge objects than cannot be seen with human eyes.
What does resolution of a microscope mean?
a microscope's resolution specifies the smallest object you can see and distinguish from other nearby objects.
