The Naturalist's Microscope Guide Part 1: Stereo Microscopes
|
|
|
When thinking of the varied toolkit of the enterprising naturalist, a microscope is perhaps not the first thing that springs to mind. Nevertheless, for many entomologists, botanists and comparative zoologists, the ever-reliable 10x hand lens eventually proves insufficient. But researching the best optical equipment for your purpose can be a disheartening task, especially for naturalists. With several big-name brands, a wide range of price points and numerous specifications available for uses across a plethora of fields, it’s useful to be armed with some background knowledge when choosing your own microscope.
