A binocular microscope uses two eyepieces and is popular due to its benefits and comparable cost to a single eyepiece microscope. It is commonly used in student, benchtop, and research microscopes. Stereo microscopes produce 3D images while compound microscopes focus on resolution. Prices range from $1,000 to $4,000 for student and benchtop microscopes, while research […]
Binocular beacons apply to animals with binocular vision, allowing depth perception. Binocular disparity, convergence, and accommodation are cues used by the human visual system to perceive shape, size, and distance of objects. Binocular beacons is a term usually applied to humans but could justifiably apply to any animal with binocular vision, i.e. any animal whose […]
Binocular vision provides redundancy, improves object visibility, and allows for depth perception. Stereopsis is important for predators to judge distance. Vision abnormalities can impair binocular vision, requiring corrective lenses or surgery. A creature with two eyes used together to view a single image is said to have binocular vision. Creatures with binocular vision have many […]
