A microscope is a scientific instrument designed to allow the viewing of things too small to be seen by normal Human vision. It uses a system of lenses and mirrors to magnify an object many times more than it actually is.

Doctor Phlox usually used a microscope on board Enterprise. (ENT: "Silent Enemy" et al)

Doctor Noonien Soong had a microscope in his laboratories on Omicron Theta. The away team of the USS Enterprise-D visited the left rooms in the colony in 2364. (TNG: "Datalore")

In 2370, Lieutenant Commander Data created a microscope using multiple lenses when he was stranded on Barkon IV, a planet with a pre-warp civilization, to research the radiation sickness that was speading among the villagers. (TNG: "Thine Own Self")

Doctor Julian Bashir used a microscope in the infirmary on Deep Space 9 in 2369 when he examined the DNA probes he collected aboard the Bajoran transport ship. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
