Sorry I was cranky lol.
The light source was built in illuminator.
It totally popped in my head when taking the test.

From what i remember...it's called the light source. The light source for compound microscopes are usually a small filament light bulb, but i have seen many that use mirrors to redirect another sourse, such as the sun. So yes, i do believe it's always just been called the light source, not everything has a really fancy name just because it is scientific.

Below is a diagram, I don't know how to code it so the image actually appears in my post if that is possible.
