BAUSCH AND LOMB BINOCULAR MICROSCOPE

Description

The Binocular Microscope, in general, offers the very great advantage over the Monocular Microscope of less fatigue for the observer and the superior satisfaction always given by binocular vision as compared to monocular v1s10n. In addition, the double microscope of the Greenough type gives stereoscopic vision, which in most cases reveals much more information as to the structure of the object than can be obtained with monocular vision, for which stereoscopy is impossible.
Industrial Laboratories especially have adapted the Binocular Microscope to a very great number of uses. The examination of surface structure, breaks and cracks, rust and finishes can. all be done right in the factory with this microscope. It is simply a matter of removing the glass stage and setting the microscope right on the work. Police Laboratories are using this instrument for minute examination of such things as tire tracks (plaster castings), questioned documents and literally hundreds of other bits of evidence. In Educational Laboratories, dissection is only one of the uses of this instrument; practically every kind of laboratory, as well as the vocational division, finds that it needs this versatile microscope. In Medical Laboratories, too, the applications of this instrument are many. For instance, it furnishes a most excellent .means of direct examination of the skin. The ease with which this instrument can be mounted on different types of holders is one of the reasons for its popularity.
