Re: Stereo Microscopes

There are two basic stereo microscope designs:

1. Greenough
2. Common main objective (CMO)

In the Greenough system the optics consist of paired objectives and 
eyepieces.  In the CMO system there is a single common main objective.  
Most microscopes are of the Greenough design which is more compact and 
less expensive to make.  I have a CMO microscope at home and I like it a 
lot.  It has a huge objective and the quality of the images is excellent.
