CHARACTERISTIC

Compound monocular microscopes are commonly used in educational settings, laboratories, and research environments. They are versatile tools that allow for the observation of a wide range of specimens, including cells, tissues, microorganisms, and small structures. Monocular microscopes are often chosen for teaching purposes, as they are easier to use for beginners and can be more affordable compared to binocular or trinocular models. However, they lack the depth perception provided by binocular or trinocular microscopes, which have two eyepieces for viewing.
