GX Optical offer the largest range of stereo microscopes from these major manufacturers: GX Microscopes, Leica, Olympus, Meiji and Motic. 

We have arranged the microscope selection below based on the type of microscope head and the type of stand.  For a full explanation see the
GX Microscopes Stereo Microscopes Range Brochure (right)

Stereo microscopes, also known as low magnification and dissecting microscopes share a number of common, fundamental components:
Pair of Angled Objectives
By definition all stereo microscopes have these, they are typically hidden in the end/nose of the microscope, each objective connects to its own eyepiece.  Because they are angled they give a ‘3D’ or ‘Stereo’ view of the subject.
Microscope Head
Sometimes called the ‘body’ this accommodates all optical components and any magnification changing mechanism. There are several types of microscope head, this is the main way that different types of stereo microscopes are classified, and priced.
Microscope Stand
The head attaches to the stand, some stands include built-in illumination, most include a focus mechanism, shown here are also a range of long reach stands.  We also have an entire section on microscope stands.
Microscope Illumination
A critical element in stereo microscopy is the illumination which can either be built into the stand or added to the microscope as an accessory.  Shown here are just some of the illumination options, we also have an entire section on microscope illumination.
