Image for Compound Microscope
[edit]As an amateur astronomer I've seen various explanations about optics. The picture currently used here (and probably maintained elsewhere in the wiki ecosystem) shows the light path bending at "image 1" with no explanation. Also the eye is a little too close, and doesn't show the final focus at the retina. Do microscopes use a translucent(?) surface at 'image 1' that's just not shown?

- Can't remember where I got the basis for the illustration but to explain; The illustration shows half the light path with the objective focusing at "image 1" and the eyepiece focusing at "image 1". Nothing is bending, they both converge there. Hence why its a compound microscope. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:40, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Sections lacking
[edit]This article appears to have no or very little information on the polarisation microscope typically used in petrology, ore microscopes for the study of opaque ore minerals (typically with polarisation and sometimes combined with the transmission polarisation microscope), and the metallographic microscope (partly similar to the ore microscope).150.227.15.253 (talk) 17:25, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Microscope slides
[edit]There are many types of microscopes, such as:plain microscope slides ,single frosted microscope slides,double frosted microscope sliedes,concave micorscope slides,color frosted microscope slides! Huidaxialanqin34527 (talk) 08:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
