How does a Stereo Microscope work?
A stereomicroscope is generally known as a comparison microscope and it is used in scientific fields primarily for comparing two side by side specimens. A stereo microscope is made up of two regular microscopes connected together with an optical bridge. For instance in forensics, it may be necessary to compare to samples to each other, using a traditional microscope the viewer will need to memorize the contents and switch slides, however with the stereo microscope, the viewer can see both slides side by side at the same time.
