The Benefits of Stereo Microscopes
Many people have trouble keeping one eye closed while peering
through a microscope lens with the other eye. A stereo
microscope eliminates the need to close one eye because it has
two eyepieces. Stereo Microscopes have all of the features of
conventional microscopes with some added advantages. First of
all, stereo microscopes have two eyepieces. They allow for
greater depth perception, allowing viewers to see objects in
three dimensions. Many stereo microscopes have a zoom lens
feature, and it is not uncommon to find a stereo microscope with
two illuminators.
A stereo microscope has two eyepieces. This is a major advantage
over conventional microscopes. The two eyepieces allow viewers
to keep both eyes open, making it easier to focus on the object
they are looking at. Many stereo microscopes have comfortable
rubber eye guards that make the microscopes even more user
friendly.
A major advantage of stereo microscopes is that they allow
viewers to see objects in three dimensions. Most microscopes
only show objects in two dimensions. People can look at insects,
plants, coins, or anything else in all three dimensions,
providing the most realistic viewing experience imaginable.
Many stereo microscopes have a zoom lens feature. This provides
nearly limitless options for resolution and gives users more
control over focus. The zoom lens allows users to slowly enlarge
the object they are viewing more easily than conventional
microscopes, which have two knobs to adjust.
Another feature found on many stereo microscopes is a dual
illuminator system. A stereo microscope has the conventional
illuminator below the stage as well as another one right above
the objective lens. This provides more than enough light to view
specimens in all of their three dimensional glory.
Stereo microscopes are versatile and easy to use. They are
perfect for students or anyone else who wants to explore the
miniature world around them.
