Hello. I am listing 5 types of microscopes below:-

1) Stereo Microscope = used to research the samples which you can hold in your hand

2) Compound Microscope = used in laboratories, schools, wastewater treatment plants, veterinary offices, and for histology and pathology.

3) Inverted Microscope = used to view living samples that are in a petri dish.

4) Metallurgical Microscope = used to view samples that do not allow light to pass through them.

5) Polarizing Microscope = used to examine chemicals, rocks, and minerals.

Hope that helps!

The different types of microscope are as follows :
  1. The bright-field or light microscope - forms a dark image against a brighter background.
  2. Dark field microscope - the object appears bright against a dark background
  3. Phase Contrast Microscope - It is used to visualize the living cells by creating a difference in contrast between the cells and wate
  4. Fluorescence Microscope
  5. Electron Microscope
