Bright field  reflected microscopes light, frequently referred to as metallurgical microscopes, are make use of to examine opaque specimens which will not transmit light. Reflected Light is as well called Incident Light or Episcopic Illumination (Epi for short). The explanation is reflected off of a beam splitter - a half mirror where half the light is reflected and half passes through. The reflected light travels through the objective lens, which in this arrangement acts as in cooperation of a condenser and an objective, and strikes the specimen. It is then reflected off the specimen backing through the objective lens, the half mirror, the head, the eyepieces, and finally to the eye. The way in which the specimen scatters light will establish how well it can be imaged in this way. Natural color is usually obscured. Extremely reflective specimens for instance; polished metals, ceramics, and microchips are well suited for Bright field reflected light. Objectives on a reflected light microscope are frequently corrected for use with specimens with no cover slip. For a quantity of specimens a mixture of transmitted and reflected light is perfect. Reversed reflected light microscopes include the advantage of accepting larger specimens, and these specimens have to be even on just one side.
