Calibrating a Stereo Microscope for Precision Measurement: Methods, Standards, and Error Sources
Dec 11th 2025
Stereo microscopes are widely used in industrial inspection, research laboratories, semiconductor work, micro-assembly, medical device manufacturing, and quality assurance. Although they’re essential for dimensional inspection and documentation, stereo microscopes are not inherently calibrated for accurate measurement.
If your lab relies on dimensional data for QA/QC, regulatory compliance,

Difference Between Compound & Dissecting Microscopes
Mar 19th 2024
Microscopes play a crucial role in scientific research, allowing scientists to observe objects and organisms at the microscopic level. Two common types of microscopes used in laboratories and educational settings are compound microscopes and dissecting microscopes. While both serve the purpose of magnifying objects for observation, they differ in their design, applications, and functionalities.

What is a Stereo Microscope?
Sep 24th 2023
A stereo microscope, also known as a dissecting microscope, is a specialized optical instrument designed for three-dimensional viewing of objects at low magnification levels. Unlike compound microscopes, which use a single objective lens, a stereo microscope employs two separate optical paths, providing a binocular view. This enables users to perceive depth and details of solid objects, making it
