Hello Shiv, 

One book that might fit nicely between the ones I already mentioned is "Introduction to Light Microscopy" by Bradbury and Bracegirdle. Microscopy Handbook Series Vol 42 (Springer). It's 100 pages, and might be just the level you need for your students. 

Julio.

I kindly request your input on any available book or literature at this level with basic geometrical optics, optical path, image formation, contrasting techniques including polarization information and any available easy to understand tools and kits (especially for diffraction patterns) that could be used for the students to make mini projects.

Thanking you in advance and I greatly appreciate your suggestions and recommendations.
Shiv
