binocular microscope: The purpose in dividing the same image from a single objective of the usual compound microscope is to reduce eyestrain and muscular fatigue which may result from monocular, high-power microscopy. The purpose in obtaining a different image for each of two oculars is to provide stereoscopy by means of two different angles of view. There are two kinds of stereoscopic microscopes: binobjective (Greenough) older type and monobjective (common main objective, CMO) newer type. 4, record 1, English, - Greenough%20microscope
