Stereo Microscope: A stereo microscope is one which provides a magnified, three-dimensional view of a visible object. It has two eyepieces (binocular) as well as two objectives. Since you are looking all the way through the scope using two complete sets of lenses, your eyes are able to see the subject three dimensionally. A stereo microscope is best used for close up examination of objects which can be seen with the naked eye, such as stamps, coins, insects, rocks, etc. You would not normally look at slides with a stereo microscope.
