How Numerical Aperture, Depth of Field, and Working Distance Interact in Advanced Stereo Microscopy
Apr 2nd 2026
Stereo microscopes are essential tools for applications like jewelry inspection, electronics work, and precision assembly. While many users focus on magnification, the real performance of a stereo microscope depends on three critical optical factors: numerical aperture (NA), depth of field, and working distance .
Understanding how these three interact can dramatically improve your imaging result
