The Vixen SL-40N Stereo Microscope is a dual-magnification stereo microscope that delivers a true three-dimensional view at 20× and 40× — ideal for studying insects, minerals, coins, circuit boards, or any solid object with real depth. Unlike a compound microscope that flattens a thin slide, a stereo microscope shows objects the way your eyes naturally see them, in 3D.

A 45° inclined binocular head and dual LED lighting (from above and below) make it comfortable to use and easy to light whatever you place under it.

Who it's for: Students, hobbyists, collectors, and light-industrial users who need clear, magnified 3D views for inspection, education, or nature study.

Key features

  • True stereo 3D viewing for realistic depth perception on solid objects.
  • Two magnifications — 20× and 40× using 2× and 4× objectives with 10× eyepieces.
  • Dual LED illumination from the top and bottom for flexible lighting of opaque or translucent samples.
  • 45° inclined binocular head with adjustable interpupillary distance (51–75 mm) for comfortable viewing.
  • Rugged metal frame with a stable base, stage clips, and smooth rack-and-pinion focusing.

Frequently asked questions

What can I look at with this microscope?
It is built for solid, three-dimensional objects — insects, plants, rocks and minerals, coins and stamps, jewelry, and electronics — rather than thin prepared slides.

What is the difference between a stereo and a compound microscope?
A stereo microscope gives a 3D view at lower magnification for whole objects, while a compound microscope reaches much higher magnification for thin, translucent slide samples.

Is it suitable for children or students?
Yes. The fixed 20×/40× magnifications and simple coarse focus make it easy for students and beginners, while the metal build holds up to classroom use.
