Typical compound light microscope labeled. These diagrams clearly explain the functioning of the microscopes along with their respective parts. This part on the side of the microscope is used to support it when it is carried. It does this by creating a magnified image through the use of a series of glass lenses which first focus a beam of light onto or through an object and convex objective lenses to enlarge the image formed.
