Stereo light microscope

Definition

A magnification instrument designed with a standard microscope configuration with the object viewed through two observation objectives and oculars from above to provide a three-dimensional (3-D) view of the object under low magnification by transmitted light (typically no more than 60x). It is used in laboratories and for research, particularly for dissection, and 3-D viewing of large or living specimens. It consists of a stand that supports the main components, an ocular body in which the eyepieces are mounted, a nosepiece to support the objectives, a specimen stage, a condenser to focus the light on the specimen, and a source of light [e.g., tungsten (W), halogen] and light port.
