Why can’t you study opaque objects with a light microscope?

The main principle of operation of a light microscope is that through a transparent or translucent object (object of study), placed on the stage, light rays pass and fall on the objective lens system, which magnifies the image. The same role is played by the eyepiece lenses through which the researcher examines the object. And light does not pass through opaque objects, respectively, we will not see the image.
