Stereo Zoom Microscopes

JBM Stereo zoom microscopes provide a 3-dimensional or “STEREO” image when looking through the microscope. Looking 3D dimensional via Binoculars.

Stereo microscope is a type of optical microscope that allows the user to see a 3D-dimensional view of a specimen. Otherwise known as a dissecting microscope or stereo zoom microscope, the stereo microscope differs from the compound light microscope by having separate objective lenses and eyepieces. This results in two separate left and right optical paths for each eye. Three-dimensional visuals are produced by the different angling views for the left and right eye.

JBM Stereo microscopes use reflected light from the object being studied, compared to the transmitted light that is used by compound light microscopes. Magnification ranges from 7.5 to 75x. Opaque, thick, solid objects are ideal for study with these tools.

In stereo microscopes have two light sources: one above the sample, which is reflected in the eyepieces, and one below the sample for illumination through thinner samples. Resolution is determined by the wavelength of light and numerical aperture of the objective, the same as any other form of optical light microscopy.

Due to their ability to view three-dimensional structures, stereo microscopes can be used in a variety of applications. An operator can work on the specimen they are studying in real-time whilst it is still being observed.
A. Quality control – Stereo microscopes are used across all types of industry to check the quality of products, including looking for micro structures.
B. Technicians use stereo microscopes when they repair circuit boards (PCB).
C. Biological research – Stereo microscopes are used by biologists to aid in dissections.
D. Pathology – Pathologists use stereo microscopes to examine skin conditions amongst other uses
