>A binocular microscope allows both eyes to

>A stereo microscope has two objectives...

Geeze, Louise! 
I've been yammering on for what, 3 years now, about how you can convert

Edge makes a stereo microscope good to 1000x. 
And, most people who use Nomarsky will claim they see in stereo... Oh well,
two out of three ain't bad.
