How is a stereo microscope different from a compound microscope?

Compound microscope - a microscope which uses multiple lenses to collect light from the sample, and then a separate set of lenses to focus the light into the eye or camera. It shines a light from beneath the stage, going up through the object being examined.
Stereo microscope - a microscope designed for low magnification observation of an opaque object. It shines a light onto the object, rather than shining it up through the object. It uses two separate optical paths with two objectives and two eyepieces to provide slightly different viewing angles to the left and right eyes. This produces a three-dimensional visualization of the object.

What is the difference between stereo microscope and compound microscope?
A stereo microscope shows two slides side by side at the same time and is used for comparison. A compound microscope only shows one slide.
What is low power objective in a microscope?
A low power objective in a microscope is a Small Lens with Low Magnifying Power. A microscope head with two eyepiece lenses, one for each eye. Generally this term is used in describing a high power (compound) microscope. With a low power microscope we say "stereo" head because, unlike the compound microscope, the stereo has a separate objective lens for each eyepiece lens, producing two independent paths of light, one for each eye. In the compound microscope with a binocular head, there are two eyepiece lenses but still only one objective lens and you will not get stereo vision. Hope this helps.
What is the difference between a monocular microscope and a stereo microscope?
The monocular has 3 objective lenses but the stereo microscope has only 2 objective lenses
What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?
The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.
What are the different types of microscopes?
There are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope, Dissection microscope, etc,but all together there are about 20 different types of microscopes.
What is the difference between stereo microscope and compound microscope?
A stereo microscope shows two slides side by side at the same time and is used for comparison. A compound microscope only shows one slide.
Name 5 types of microscopes?
five types of microscopes are: A compound light microscope,the stereo microscope,the electron microscope,a simple microscope(similar to a magnifying glass,and a compound microscope.
What are the several types of microscope?
1.digital microscope 2.stereo microscope 3.compound microscope 4.electron microscope 5.laboratory microscope
What is the difference between microscope and compound microscope?
A stereo microscope shows two slides side by side at the same time and is used for comparison. A compound microscope only shows one slide.
What is the difference between a compound and a stereo microscope?
The difference is to get off your bum and look for the answer in your textbook or notebook
How does a compound microscope different from a simpel microscope?
a compound microscope has two or more lens while a simple microscope has only one lens
When are different intensities of light used in a microscope?
when are different intensities of light used in compound microscope
What are the main structural differences between the compound light microscope and the stereoscopic microscope?
Stereoscopic microscopes, also called low-power microscopes, dissection microscopes, or inspection microscopes, are designed for viewing "large" objects at low magnifications. Unlike a compound microscope which provides an inverted 2-dimensional image, stereo microscopes provide an erect (upright and unreversed) stereoscopic (3-dimensional) image......
How do stereo microscopes work?
A stereo microscope functions at low magnification and is an optical microscope. Unlike a traditional microscope a stereo microscope has two separate optical paths instead of the traditional one.
What is low power objective in a microscope?
A low power objective in a microscope is a Small Lens with Low Magnifying Power. A microscope head with two eyepiece lenses, one for each eye. Generally this term is used in describing a high power (compound) microscope.

A virus is 50 nm in size so would you recommend using a stereo compound light microscope or an electron microscope to see it?
Viruses can only be seen with electron microscopes
What way does a compound microscope differ from a simple microscope?
A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.
