Stereomicroscopes have two oculars, one for each eye to enable stereo viewing. The range of magnification for most microscopes is between 10 x and 40 x. The magnification required for insemination is 10 x to 15 x (i.e. ocular l0 x with an objective 1,5 will enable an enlargement of 15 x). A working space of 80 to 100 mm is preferable.

Be sure the microscope and instrument you choose are compatible and allow adequate working space for the syringe. Not all types of microscopes are suitable to use with the insemination instrument.

For training courses in schools and universities the Dual Discussion Microscope DSK 500 is very interesting. The light pen supports the communication between teachers and students. It has a weight of 53 kg. The optics can be turned over 180 degrees (specified in the price list, however not in the catalog).
