Explanation:
I think that you have some poorly spelled text there...
1/ Keyan scale Lupe (7X) is probably a microsope, most certainly some kind of magnifying glass. "Lupe" is German for magnifying glass
2/ American Optical illuminator (not opetical) is a trade name with a product, illuminator. An illuminator is a light/lamp/bulb to light the microsope in this case, I think.

Explanation:
"scale Lupe" is not a microscope, but just magnifying lens with sevenfold magnification (7X)
