Explore the microscopic world with precision and clarity using Explore Scientific’s line of stereo microscopes, designed for close-up observation of three-dimensional specimens. Also known as dissecting microscopes, these instruments provide lower magnification with greater working distance and true binocular depth perception, making them ideal for viewing solid objects in lifelike 3D detail.
Perfect for students, field researchers, lab technicians, and curious hobbyists, stereo microscopes are commonly used to examine:
- Insects and arthropods
- Plant structures and botanical samples
- Rocks, fossils, minerals, and crystals
- Circuit boards and small mechanical parts
- Coins, stamps, and other collectibles
Each model in this collection features dual eyepieces for comfortable long-term viewing, as well as stereo objectives that create a natural 3D effect, giving users better context and spatial understanding of their samples. Adjustable LED or halogen lighting, both above and below the stage, ensures consistent illumination for opaque and translucent specimens alike. Explore Scientific’s stereo microscopes offer a combination of durable metal construction, precision focusing, and user-friendly controls, making them excellent tools for classroom use, lab work, quality control, or home exploration. With options for magnification ranges typically between 10x and 40x (and expandable with accessories), these microscopes allow for a wide range of observation detail without sacrificing working distance or comfort. Many models are compatible with digital camera adapters for easy documentation and sharing, while optional accessories like extra eyepieces, replacement bulbs, and dust covers help extend the life and functionality of your microscope setup. Whether you're teaching microscopy, conducting biological fieldwork, or exploring nature at the micro level, Explore Scientific’s stereo microscopes offer reliability, clarity, and versatility — all in one professional-grade instrument.
