  1. simple microscope light microscope consisting of a single convex lens that is used to produce an enlarged image
  2. compound microscope light microscope that has two converging lens systems: the objective and the eyepiece
  3. light microscope microscope consisting of an optical instrument that magnifies the image of an object
  4. binocular microscope a light microscope adapted to the use of both eyes
  5. microscope magnifier of the image of small objects
  6. simple regression the relation between selected values of x and observed values of y (from which the most probable value of y can be predicted for any value of x)
  7. spectroscope an optical instrument for spectrographic analysis
  8. ultramicroscope light microscope that uses scattered light to show particles too small to see with ordinary microscopes
  9. simple machine a device for overcoming resistance at one point by applying force at some other point
  10. spectroscopy the use of spectroscopes to analyze spectra
  11. microscopy research with the use of microscopes
  12. dark-field microscope light microscope that uses scattered light to show particles too small to see with ordinary microscopes
  13. synchroscope an instrument that indicates whether two periodic motions are synchronous (especially an instrument that enables a pilot to synchronize the propellers of a plane that has two or more engines)
  14. simple interest interest paid on the principal alone
  15. field-emission microscope electron microscope used to observe the surface structure of a solid
  16. electron microscope a microscope that is similar in purpose to a light microscope but achieves much greater resolving power by using a parallel beam of electrons to illuminate the object instead of a beam of light
  17. simple sugar a sugar that does not hydrolyse to give other sugars
  18. family Mucoraceae large family of chiefly saprophytic fungi that includes many common molds destructive to food products
  19. ultramicroscopic too small to be seen without an ultramicroscope
  20. simple closed curve a closed curve that does not intersect itself
