Stereo Microscopes

Stereo microscopes, also known as dissecting microscopes and low power microscopes, are used to examine any specimen that is not mounted on a slide (although many slide mounted specimens can be observed).  They are particularly useful for examining unprepared specimens that are not thin and are 'lumpy' such as insects, plants, geological specimens, fossils, industrial parts, PCB's, coins, archaeological artefacts, pond life, invertebrates, zoological specimens, embryos, forensic samples, textiles etc.  

Supplementary ILLUMINATION such as fibre optic goosenecks or LED ringlights are often used with a stereo microscope - see HERE for our extensive range of microscope illuminators
