Principle

stereomicroscope

The instrument uses two separate optical paths with two objectives and eyepieces to provide slightly different viewing angles to the left and right eyes. This arrangement produces a three-dimensional visualization of the sample being examined.

The stereo microscope is often used to study the surfaces of solid specimens or to carry out close work such as microsurgery, watch-making, circuit board manufacture or inspection. They are thus widely used in manufacturing industry for manufacture, inspection and quality control.


The stereo or stereoscopic or dissecting microscope is an optical microscope designed for low magnification observation of a sample.

Testing procedure

Magnification range:

  • 11,2x to 225x (2D)
  • 7,5x to 150x (3D)

A digital camera records high resolution images.

Easy positioning by means of an X-Y table.

Testing applications

  • Analyses of surface structures
  • Analysis of dimensions (thickness, fibre length, etc.) and defects
  • Sharp imagery of multilevel parts
