WHAT IS A DISSECTING MICROSCOPE? WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF DISSECTING MICROSCOPE?

Answer 1

DISSECTING MICROSCOPE

The dissecting microscope is also known as a stereomicroscope. Because it has a long working distance, between 25 and 150 mm, it has a lower magnification ability. This gives the user the option to manipulate the specimen, even performing small dissections under the microscope. Live specimens can also be observed. A typical student stereoscope can magnify two to 70 times through its one objective lens. With a stereoscope, light can be directed at the specimen from above, creating a three dimensional image.
