Stereomicroscope+microscope set, camera, image processing software, monitor

The microscope is an optical instrument used to magnify and examine fine details of small objects, such as cells, bacteria, or biological structures. It uses lenses to produce clear, magnified images, allowing observation of microscopic features.

The stereomicroscope, on the other hand, is a variant of the microscope that provides a three-dimensional view of specimens. It is used for examining larger objects, such as insects, plants, or electronic components, offering a wider field of view and depth of field, making it ideal for dissection or assembly work.
