<span>A microscope is an instrument that produces a clear magnified image of an object viewed through it. A microscope must be able not only to magnify objects sufficiently but also to resolve, or separate, the fine details of the object that are of interest to the viewer. In the optical microscope visible light rays, reflected from or transmitted by the viewed object, pass through a series of lenses and form an enlarged image of the object. This image is produced at the normal distance of clearest vision, which is about 10 inches, or 25 centimetres, from the eye of the viewer. </span>
During the transfer of energy from one tropic level to the next tropic level around 90% of the total energy is lost in the metabolic processes in the form of heat. Hence only about 10% of the total energy can only be transferred from one tropic level to the next tropic level.
