Return To Microscope FAQ Archive   Search the Archives What's the difference between a monocular or binocular microscope? Answered By Evan Mattensen, Editor The eyepiece or ocular is where an image is viewed when it is placed on a microscope. There are two types of oculars, the monocular and the binocular. Monocular microscopes have only one eyepiece where a person can view the image. A binocular microscope has two eyepieces, one for each eye. Both of them can be used on a compound microscope while the binocular is also used in a stereoscope. --- permission must be obtained from editor Evan Mattensen to re-publish --- Blue Microscope
