Stereo microscopes are microscopes equipped with two eyepieces, which function similar to a set of binoculars providing a wider viewing range and micro-high-quality stereo images that help to reduce eyestrain and tedious task of viewing the sample. ., Back in 1890s when an American dentist, Horatio Greenough, designed a microscope, which was then purchased by Carl Zeiss. The engineers of Carl Zeiss modified the design by repositioning the prism in the model. Greenough design is the traditional design of stereo microscope, which is highly modified till date and utilized by various end users from researchers to jewelry makers and watch repairers. Stereo microscopes offer three-dimensional view of a sample. It is also known as dissecting microscope and stereo zoom microscope. This microscope is used in wide range of applications such as research in healthcare sector, circuit boards of automobiles sector, and for fabric and textile analysis in consumer goods sector.
Global Stereoscopic Microscopes Market – Dynamics
Factors such as wide range of applications, product launches, and product modification are expected to positively impact the global stereoscopic microscopes market growth. Product launches by major players to fulfil demands of consumers or end users is driving the market growth. For instance, in February 2018, UNITRON introduced the Z12 zoom stereo microscope.
