Overview
Stereo microscopes, also known as dissecting microscopes, provide a three-dimensional view of the specimen. They are commonly used in fields like biology, geology, and electronics for tasks requiring detailed observation at relatively low magnification. These microscopes are ideal for dissection, circuit board inspection, and other applications requiring depth perception.
FAQ
What should I consider when buying a used stereo microscope?

How do I ensure the stereo microscope is shipped safely to my location?
Use a reputable shipping service that specializes in delicate instruments. Ensure the microscope is well-packed with adequate cushioning to prevent any movement or damage during transit.
What is the maintenance schedule for a stereo microscope?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the lenses with appropriate solutions, checking and lubricating mechanical parts, and ensuring that all components are properly aligned. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for detailed maintenance procedures.
