A light microscope with two eye pieces.
A microscope with 2 eyepieces is called a binocular microscope. This type of microscope allows for viewing with both eyes simultaneously, providing a more comfortable and natural viewing experience. Binocular microscopes are commonly used in laboratories and educational settings.
A monocular microscope has one eyepiece for viewing, while a binocular microscope has two eyepieces for viewing. Binocular microscopes provide a more comfortable and natural viewing experience due to the use of both eyes, offering better depth perception and reducing eye strain.
The binocular microscope was not invented by a single individual, but rather an evolution of the compound microscope with the addition of two eyepieces to allow for stereo vision. It was improved upon over time by various scientists and inventors, such as Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe, in the 19th century.
A monocular microscope has only one eyepiece while a binocular microscope has two eyepieces with different lenses. Binocular microscopes are more popular today than the monocular microscope for professional use. To learn more about microscopes and its uses visit the website in the link below.

You would study small objects like insects, plants, or circuit boards with a binocular dissecting microscope. It provides a 3D view and lower magnification compared to compound microscopes, so it's useful for examining intricate details of larger specimens.

A light microscope that has two or more lenses is called a compound microscope. Compound microscopes use two sets of lenses to magnify the image, typically consisting of an objective lens near the specimen and an eyepiece lens near the eye. This arrangement allows for higher magnification and resolution compared to simple microscopes.
The other term for a stereoscopic microscope is a dissecting microscope.

One can purchase a binocular microscope from a specialty store such as Optics Planet, or at a common electronics store, such as Radio Shack or Best Buy.
The term compound microscope normally refers to a light microscope that uses two or more lenses to magnify objects. (Two lenses does not refer to the number of eye pieces as does the term binocular microscope.) This is to be distinguished from a simple light microscope with a single lens. There are many modern variations of the light microscope which have more specialized names but which may still be "compound" with the meaning that they have multiple stages of magnification.

Microscope - device used to view objects which are too small to see or explore with your eye alone. Compound - when a scope has a minimum to two magnifying lenses. Binocular - two eyepieces. Monocular - one eyepiece.
