This page is not very detailed or specific to a particular subject, but does address many of the "basic" or "beginner" questions commonly asked about microscopy:

I believe the Olympus site is probably encompassed in and expanded by this comprehensive site supported by Leica, Zeiss, Nikon and Olympus.

Shouldn't this be moved to the main FAQ's forum?
