What is the scientific name for a microscope?

I think microscope, but I could be wrong. I want to see what others say though, hmm good question.

I just asked my dad (the chemist) and he said it was microscope.

I am pretty positive it is microscope, though I've heard certain types called scientific microscopes, and there are all different kinds of microscopes, as well, optical, electron, point-projection, etc.

Hope this helps,
Cal.

A Microscope is a microscope, yes?

For future reference...please use a proper subject line? If everyone said "OMG PLZ HELP" when they wanted help, no one would be able to find the topic they wanted.

I just edited the subject line. Please, spell out words, don't use caps, and avoid using more than one exclamation mark

Yup yup, it's microscope. There are tons of names for them, though. Do you need a specific one, or did you just need to know what the scientific name is?

Microscope.

But, it depends which kind you're referring to I suppose.
