Binocular Research Microscope By S.d.scientific Industries

A binocular microscope is any optical microscope with two eyepieces to significantly ease viewing and cut down on eye strain. Most microscopes sold today are binocular microscopes though the interplay between the two lenses can differ depending on the microscope type. For example, a compound microscope consists of a single optical path through which a 2D image is seen, a stereo microscope has two optical paths that display a separate image to the left and right eyes and overlay them to create a single 2D or 3D image, and a comparison microscope shows different images to each eye allowing comparison between two samples. Other differences to consider when purchasing a binocular microscope include the light source used, the maximum and minimum magnification available and whether a method for saving images is available.
