Abstract:
Binocular loupes and stereo microscopes are expensive items of equipment. However, inexpensive operating microscopes (ophthalmic) with coaxial illumination have been constructed for use in developing countries, where there is little medical funding. We describe one method of transforming economically priced pocket binoculars into a portable stereo microscope with nearly coaxial illumination.
