Under what circumstances would you use a dissecting microscope?

What will be an ideal response?


A dissecting (stereo) microscope should be used to look at surface features of
macroscopic objects. A stereo microscope is also useful when you want to observe the
behavior of a small, but still visible, live organism. Living specimens can be placed in
small transparent dishes that prevent the organism from injury or drying out due to
the heat produced by the microscope's light. The working distance (distance between
the stage and the objective lens) of a stereo microscope is much larger than that of a

compound light microscope. It is possible to view living organisms in culture dishes
using a stereo microscope.
