How to use a Light Microscope Introduction: In this coursework I will be using a simple light microscope to look at the letter 'e' which will be cut out from a past newspaper. I will be trying to find out how a microscope works, and what I see through the eyepiece when looking at the letter 'e' and what changes occur when changing the focus and slide. Before I begin the experiment I will be introducing exactly what a microscope is and how it is used. Microscopes are instruments that magnify tiny objects or reveal fine details on larger objects, they reveal to us things that are invisible to our eyes such as cells. The two commonly know microscopes are 'Electron Microscopes' and 'Optical Microscopes', electron microscopes use a beam of electrons controlled by magnetic fields instead of light and electron microscopes are very powerful and can show details 1000 times larger than optical microscopes...
