Why are stereomicroscopes often referred to as dissecting microscopes?    Stereomicroscopes come apart (dissect) easily. The large distance between the lens and the specimen makes them ideal for dissections. They are good for viewing much smaller objects. Only a few specimens will fit under the stereomicroscope. The two eyepiece lenses on a stereomicroscope give a better perception of depth.
