Answer:

Condenser and Iris Diaphragm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The working principle of a microscope is projecting a light source on the specimen that is being investigated under the lens. The two mechanisms that control the light, it's focus and it's amount on a microscope and for other lens-operated mechanisms such as telescopes as well, are the condenser and the iris diaphragm.

I hope this answer helps.
