The Master Science Stereo Dissecting Microscope gives a continuous zoom from 7X to 45X through a 0.7X-4.5X stereo objective with a 6.4:1 zoom ratio. With optional eyepieces and auxiliary lenses the range extends from 3.5X to 270X.
LED lighting from above and below lets the Master Science Stereo Dissecting Microscope handle both opaque and transparent specimens. The binocular head is inclined at 45°, and the high eye point WF10X/20 mm eyepieces are comfortable for users who wear glasses.

Key Benefits
- One lens, many magnifications:: the Master Science Stereo Dissecting Microscope zooms from 7X to 45X.
- Bright, clear view:: optical coating with at least 95% transmittance.
- Light for every sample:: transmitted and reflected LED illumination.
- Easy on the eyes:: high eye point wide-field eyepieces.
- Room to extend:: optional eyepieces and 0.5X or 2X auxiliary lenses.

Common Problems This Microscope Solves
Low-power stereo work tends to hit the same limits.
- Changing lenses to change magnification:: the zoom control covers 7X to 45X continuously.
- Transparent specimens lack contrast under top light:: switch to transmitted LED light from the base.
- Glasses get in the way:: high eye point eyepieces keep the full field visible.
- Standard range not enough:: optional eyepieces and auxiliary lenses reach 3.5X to 270X.
