Microscope Types of Microscopes
There are many different types of microscopes. The most common are compound light microscopes and electron microscopes. Compound light microscopes reflect light under the object being looked at. Light then passes through two lenses and makes the image bigger. Electron microscopes come in different types as well. This is then magnified onto a television screen. Scanning electron microscopes also fire electrons at the object, but in a single beam. This is read and magnified onto a screen.
