Optical Microscope is an instrument which uses visible light and a lens system to magnify images of research specimens. Optical microscopes are invaluable analytical tools used by researchers that have the potential to allow scientific investigators to view objects at 1,000 to 2,000 times its original size. Optical microscope has the ability to observe living cells and it can observe wide range of biological activity, such as the uptake of food, cell division, and movement. Optical microscope is the only microscopy capable of real color imaging, composed of a clear lens that magnifies the sample and a light source to illuminate it. Optical microscopy is fast and adaptable to all kinds of sample systems from gas to liquid and solid sample systems, in any shape or geometries. Optical microscopy can be easily integrated with digital camera systems for analysis and data storage.

Optical microscopy has advanced a lot since its introduction, which has resulted in the present day’s exceptionally efficient microscopes. Optical microscopes have played a vital role in biomedical research. Their ability to provide multidimensional structural and functional information about a specimen in a non-invasive manner has permitted numerous scientific advances.

Optical microscopy is widely used in microelectronics, nanophysics, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, mineralogy, and microbiology. Optical microscopy is used for medical diagnosis as well as smear test on free cells and tissues. It is also used for identification of alloy and metals. It also identified the traits of heat treatments used to enhance the physical properties of an alloy.
