Microscopes

Monocular compound microscope is the most popular type of microscope

The word "monocular" comes from the Latin word "monoculus", which literally means "having one eye". A monocular microscope therefore has a single eyepiece for observing specimens.

Monocular microscopes are used for observing in transmitted light using the bright field method. Despite a little discomfort that appears during lengthy observations, monocular microscopes are still used by a lot of amateur and professional observers because they are highly affordable. Medical laboratories and, more often, school laboratories are usually equipped with these microscopes.
