The greatest advance in the scientific world came with the arrival of the optical microscope, which is nothing more than an instrument that makes it possible to observe microscopic objects, that is, they cannot be seen with the naked eye by the human eye, this function is thanks to the fact that it has an optical system formed by lenses that increase the image that the user is viewing.
The basis of these equipment is the presence of lenses that change the direction of the light rays, such as converging or diverging, which can produce augmented images. Another fundamental element, without which they could not work, is light, that is why optical microscopes come equipped with a light bulb or lamp at the bottom. There are several types of microscopes, including the compound, which we will discuss below.
