From the diagram, the part of the compound light microscope that provides the light source would be the mirror. The correct answer would be the part F.
In a compound light microscope, the light source can be:
- the mirror, or
- the electric bulb
The mirror works by collecting rays of light from the environment and then transmitting such to the stage through the condenser. The electric bulb generate light rays by itself.
Since the microscope in the diagram has no bulb but a mirror, the only light source remains the mirror.

- E - condenser
- D - stage
- C - objective lens
- B - body tube
