stereo microscopy

stereo microscopy

A method that obtains stereoscopic images of a specimen. In "stereo microscopy," two electron micrographs are taken from two specimen orientations which differ in a tilt angle by 5° to 10°, and they are viewed independently with right and left eyes. When a complicated dislocation configuration is viewed, diffraction conditions for the two micrographs should be set very similar to reveal the correct three-dimensional structure.
