SM - Stereo Microscopy

A stereo microscope is a special form of optical microscope. The viewer has two separate beam paths with differing angles of convergence so that he gets a 'spatial image effect', the so-called 'stereo effect'. This stereo effect is limited to low magnifications of less than 100:1.

Stereo microscopy is used in various areas involving analysis, such as: 

• Damage analyses
• Corrosion analyses
• Illustration of small particles or foreign bodies, and scratches and cracks
• Sample preparation for small objects
• and much more
