After the nuclear war, the scientific microscope that previously was used for studying microscopic organisms now serves as an essential junk item that players need to complete several challenges and gather useful scraps in Fallout 76

Scraping a Microscope gives you four items: Crystal, Fiber Optics, Gear and Glass. Each of these is essential from a crafting perspective.
