Stereo microscopes can see items like coins, mineral specimens, fossils, insects, plants, and more. Some of our stereo microscopes have the ability to view electrical components like circuit boards. You can achieve a magnification of 400x if you configure a stereo microscope the right way.

The Meiji EM-60 Binocular Stereo Zoom Microscope consists of a 10" pole stand, 360° rotatable head, and 16" dual-arm LED illumination. It offers 7x-45x magnification with a zoom ratio of 6.4:1 and a working distance of 100mm (4"). The flexible design and quality construction make this stereo microscope a great choice for a variety of applications.

There are two types of magnification systems in a stereo microscope, Fixed and Zoom. Fixed magnification is achieved using a paired set of objective lenses with a set degree of magnification. Zoom magnification is capable of a continuously variable degree of magnification across the set range of the stereo microscope. You can also adjust magnification by changing the microscope eyepiece.

The difference between a compound and a stereo microscope comes down to magnification level and sample type. A compound microscope is usually used for samples that you can’t see with the naked eye, displayed on a slide. Whereas a stereo microscope tends to use a large sample that’s often opaque and is used to see 3D objects in more detail.

If you have a stereo microscope that can connect to a microscope camera, then it can be used to take a picture of your sample. See all of our available microscope cameras that can be purchased separately to be used with our stereo microscopes for sale.

A basic stereo microscope costs anywhere from $79. The stereo microscope price range changes if you add features, and at the high-end price, a stereo fluorescence microscope can cost upwards of $18,000.

In order to view bacteria on a stereo microscope, you need to achieve a 400x level of magnification. While compound microscopes are typically useful for this type of application, you can achieve higher magnification when you use the ocular lens.

The main limitation of a stereo microscope is the low level of magnification when compared to a compound microscope. Our compound microscopes for sale can achieve higher levels of magnification than our stereo microscopes.

Our stereo microscopes are used for examining larger specimens in 3D that are unable to fit on a slide. The specimens are usually opaque meaning light cannot pass through them. They can be used to view insects, crystals, plant life, circuit boards, and other samples. This is compared to a compound microscope, which is designed when specimens can fit on a slide.

A stereo microscope consists of the ocular lens (the eyepiece that you look through) and the objective lens (the main optical lens that’s closest to the sample). Our stereo microscopes give users a three-dimensional view with lenses that have two optical eye paths.

Our zoom stereo microscopes are already equipped with a stand, viewing head/pod, eyepieces, and illumination. They’re ideal for education or hobbyist use, but the zoom stereo microscopes can also be appropriate for light industrial use.

This type of system will allow one to configure stands and illumination systems. With the proper modular stereo microscope, supplemental lenses, and eyepieces, magnifications approaching 400x can be achieved.

A stereo microscope is a type of optical microscope that's designed for examining 3D objects at much lower magnification. They use light reflected from the surface of an object rather than light shining through it (like a compound microscope does). It's often called a stereoscopic or dissecting microscope.
