The National Geographic 20x stereo microscope is a 3D dissection microscope for students and hobbyists exploring solid objects like insects, rocks, coins, and plants. Unlike a compound microscope that looks through thin slides, a stereo microscope gives an upright, three-dimensional view at low magnification — perfect for hands-on examination of whole specimens.

Its fixed 20x magnification and generous working distance make it easy to place, focus on, and handle objects, delivering a clear, comfortable 3D image that's ideal for learning and discovery.
