Key Features
- Dual-path stereo optical system for depth perception.
- 10x to 40x magnification, changed by swapping objectives or eyepieces.
- Long working distance (75–150 mm) leaves room for dissecting tools.
- Incident (top) and transmitted (bottom) illumination.
- Removable black/white stage plate on a large, stable base.
- Single-knob rack-and-pinion focusing with tension adjustment.

How It Is Used
The specimen sits on the stage plate, black or white side up for contrast, and is lit from above or from below as needed. With the wide field of view and long working distance, students can manipulate or dissect specimens such as insects with tools held beneath the objective.
Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification does the Dissecting Microscope give?
Standard magnification is 10x to 40x, adjusted by swapping the objective or eyepiece.
How is the Dissecting Microscope different from a compound microscope?
It gives a wide field of view and a long working distance of 75–150 mm, so large or opaque specimens can be manipulated or dissected under magnification.
