Microscope

The microscope icon represents a scientific instrument used for magnifying and observing small objects or samples. It is commonly associated with scientific research, laboratory work, and medical diagnosis. The microscope has been a crucial tool in various fields, including biology, chemistry, and medicine, enabling scientists to study the microscopic world and make groundbreaking discoveries.

In real-world applications, the microscope icon appears in laboratory software, scientific publications, and educational platforms, such as LabVIEW, GraphPad Prism, and Khan Academy. It is often used to represent scientific inquiry, experimentation, and analysis.

From a UX perspective, the microscope icon communicates a sense of investigation, exploration, and discovery. It helps users understand that a particular feature or function is related to scientific research, data analysis, or problem-solving.

Microscope is one of 1,682 icons in Iconoir, made by Luca Burgio and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MicroscopeIcon to components/icons/iconoir-microscope.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed MicroscopeIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Microscope icon, or any of 1,682 Iconoir icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Microscope is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Microscope", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MicroscopeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MicroscopeIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Iconoir, Luca Burgio and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

8 other libraries draw an icon called Microscope. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are science, equipment, medicine, research, biology and lab. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Microscope in another set.

Iconoir draws many icons in several styles: Solid next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Microscope's siblings in it.
