Light microscopes are optical instruments that use visible light and lenses to magnify small objects, distinguishing them from electron microscopes that use beams of electrons.
Most classroom and laboratory microscopes are light microscopes: Students examined cells under light microscopes.
The plural form typically appears when discussing equipment across multiple settings or comparing microscope types.
