Microscope, Stereo Binocular 20-40x

This binocular stereo microscope has 20x to 40x magnification and LED illumination.

A stereo microscope is ideal for observing or studying specimens that can't be placed on a microscope slide, or that need to be observed while being investigated or dissected. Clear plastic or glass petri dishes work well for viewing live or messy objects with a stereo microscope, since they fit well on the stage and keep everything contained. A few ways to use petri dishes with your stereo microscope: place the item or items in the bottom of the dish and position it on the stage plate, then use top or bottom lighting.

  • Observe the habits of live insects.
  • Study a shallow dish of pond water, daphnia, or brine shrimp.
  • Examine a soil sample to see the different materials that make it up.
  • Make a simple prepared slide of sand, hair, thread, salt, or something else by sticking it to a piece of clear tape and viewing it specimen side up.
  • Dissect a flower to learn about the beauty and intricacies of all its parts.
  • Compare the types of minerals and crystals in different rock specimens.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stereo microscope used for?

Looking at whole objects that won't fit on a slide: insects, flowers, soil, rocks, or a specimen while you dissect it. You see it in 3D at low magnification.

Is 20-40x a zoom?

No. There are two settings: 20x with the 2x objective and 40x with the 4x objective.

How is it different from the 10-40x stereo microscope?

The 10-40x model uses a 1x objective for its lower setting, which gives a wider view and more working room. This one starts at 20x for a closer look.
