Abstract
A microscope is arranged so that the light from the object under study is directed down through an objective lens and then to a video camera. None of it is diverted to an eye piece or the like. The image can be viewed on a video monitor. There is no clutter of optical equipment above the object, and there need be only enough light to operate the camera.
