Why is it masculine?
Microscopio is masculine because it derives from the Latin neuter noun "microscopium," which was formed from Greek roots ("mikros" + "skopein"), and when Latin neuter nouns ending in -ium were adopted into Italian, they typically became masculine words ending in -o. The gender shift occurred during the Romance language evolution from Latin, where neuter gender was largely abandoned in favor of masculine and feminine categories.
