Optical microscopes

Optic

— traditional microscopes, which work based on the use of lenses and other optical elements. They allow you to provide high image quality and a good magnification factor, while they do not depend on electricity (except that batteries may be needed for the backlight system). This type of microscope uses traditional eyepieces, but there are some models that allow you to connect an external camera and display the image on a computer display. Also note that this is the only principle used in stereoscopic models (see "Type")
