Binocular Microscopes

Binocular microscopes differ from monocular microscopes because they are adapted to the use of both eyes simultaneously when viewing through microscopes, similar to looking through a pair of binoculars. Binocular microscopes are the most commonly used microscopes today. Almost every microscope may be equipped with a binocular head as standard, and all monocular microscopes may be upgraded with a binocular head. With the help of special microscope camera adapters it is possible to use some video and digital cameras.
