Stereo Microscope
A stereo microscope has two objective lenses and two eyepieces and moves light from the specimen
along two optical paths, one directed toward the right eye and one to the left. This results in a
three-dimensional view. This type of microscope has a low magnification range that is geared
toward observing larger solid objects like minerals and insects. Stereo microscopes are often used in
dissection.
