All of the following are true of a stereomicroscope, except

A) it can also be called a dissecting microscope.
B) it is used to view large, opaque specimens.

Stereomicroscope

A type of microscope designed for low magnification observation of a sample using light reflected from the surface of an object rather than transmitted through it.

Dissecting Microscope

A type of light microscope designed for low magnification observation of a sample, commonly used for dissection.

Compound Light Microscope

An optical instrument that uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify small objects or details not visible to the naked eye.
