I can meet you half way with:

{{ about|microscopes, the instruments, in general|light microscopes|Optical microscope|other uses}}

This article is about microscopes, the instruments, in general. For light microscopes, see Optical microscope. For other uses, see Microscope (disambiguation).

I think the clear link to 'optical microscope' is important. Outriggr ( talk) 06:29, 16 January 2020 (UTC) reply
