Light microscope (right) and stereomicroscope (left)

Explanation

Light microscope (left) and stereomicroscope (right). The resolving power of the light microscope rarely exceeds a magnification of 1500×. The stereomicroscope, sometimes called a dissecting microscope, has two eyepieces, which render relatively large objects three-dimensional. Magnification ranges from 4× to 80×.
