GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Illuminator is the light source for a microscope, typically located in the base of the microscope. Most light microscopes use low voltage, halogen bulbs with continuous variable lighting control located within the base. Condenser is used to collect and focus the light from the illuminator on to the specimen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The illuminator is a steady light source that is located in the base of the microscope. It is used for transmitted light microscopy. The switch to turn on the illuminator is typically located at the rear or on the side of the base of the microscope.

Detailed explanation-3: -Objective Lenses-The objective lens gathers light from the specimen, magnifies the image of the specimen, and projects the magnified image into the body tube.

Detailed explanation-4: -After passing through the vertical illuminator, the light is then reflected by a beamsplitter (a half mirror or elliptically shaped first-surface mirror) through the objective to illuminate the specimen.
