Question
**Question:**

All of the following are types of light microscopes *except*

- ☐ electron
- ☐ phase-contrast
- ☐ bright-field
- ☐ darkfield

**Explanation:**

In the context of microscopy, light microscopes use visible light to illuminate specimens and produce a magnified image, while electron microscopes use a beam of electrons, offering much higher resolution.

Types of light microscopes include:

1. **Phase-Contrast Microscope**: Enhances contrast by amplifying the differences in the refractive index of different parts of the specimen.
2. **Bright-Field Microscope**: The most basic type of light microscope, using bright light to illuminate the sample directly.
3. **Darkfield Microscope**: Illuminates the sample from the side so that light enters the objective lens only if it is scattered by the sample.

**Answer:**

The electron microscope is *not* a type of light microscope.
