Microscopes are instruments that produce magnified images of small objects

Microscope accessories and supplies are used with many different types of microscopes, including dissection or stereoscopic, compound, and confocal devices

Optical and light microscopes use the visible or near-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to magnify images of objects

Biological microscopes are used to study organisms and their vital processes

Measuring microscopes are used by toolmakers for measuring the properties of tools.

Video cameras take continuous pictures and generate signals for display or recording.

Charge coupled device (CCD) cameras contain light-sensitive silicon chips that detect electrons excited by incoming light.
