- The sun makes a great even light source with few imperfections!
- Contemporary microscopes use "Köhler illumination" which uses additional lenses in order to separate the image of the light source from the image of the specimen.

**Condenser Lens**

The condenser lens in the microscope collects light from the source and focuses it directly onto the specimen. This allows for a brightly lit field, making it useful for observing specimens that require high brightness.

Projector lenses rely heavily on **convex** lenses to enlarge the image as it emerges from the specimen. The nature of the convex lens flips the image - like the camera obscura.
