Reflected Light Microscopy
Reflected light microscopy is often referred to as incident light, epi-illumination, or metallurgical microscopy, and is the method of choice for fluorescence and for imaging specimens that remain opaque even when ground to a thickness of 30 microns.

Anatomy of a Microscope - Substage Condensers
The substage condenser gathers light from the microscope light source and concentrates it in o a cone of light that illuminates the specimen with uniform intensity over the entire viewfield.

Anatomy of a Microscope - Image Brightness
Regardless of the imaging mode utilized in optical microscopy, image brightness is governed by the light-gathering power of the objective, which is a function of numerical aperture.
