Optical Microscope Market Scope
The optical microscope also called a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects. The optical microscope has been a standard tool in life science as well as material science. The maximum magnification power of optical microscopes is typically limited to around 1000x because of the limited resolving power of visible light. Modified environments such as the use of oil or ultraviolet light can increase the magnification.
