edit Stereo Microscopes

Stereo microscopes are used for three dimensional viewing of macro samples such as rocks, crystals, insects, etc. Stereo microscopes are sometimes referred to as low power microscopes because the magnification required to view macro objects is less than other types of microscopes.

Stereo microscopes have at least two eyepieces (binocular) and are available in two different configurations: zoom or dual power. Dual power stereo microscopes have two magnification options (for example, 20x and 40x). In zoom stereo microscopes, there is a continuous range of magnification from the low to high power.

Stereo microscopes can also be used in hobbies such as coin or stamp collecting or professionally for industrial inspection, gem inspection or even in beekeeping.

edit Compound Microscopes

Compound microscopes are high power microscopes with multiple, variable magnification objective lenses used to view cellular structures not visible to the naked eye.

Viewing cellular and similar sized specimens requires a much higher power of magnification than stereo microscopes in order to see the detail. A compound microscope generally has three to five objective lenses ranging from 4x to 100x magnification. Combined with magnifying eye pieces, a typical compound microscope can magnify to many times the original size.

Compound microscopes come in several eye piece configurations including a monocular, binocular and trinocular format. Compound microscopes are typically used in biological research and learning, pathology and related sciences.
