The term "stereo" in "stereoscope" refers to the concept of depth perception and three-dimensionality that results from viewing two slightly different images through separate lenses for each eye, allowing the brain to perceive depth. In contrast, a "microscope" is designed to magnify small objects for detailed observation, focusing on a singular, flat image. Thus, the difference lies in that a stereoscope facilitates the perception of depth in viewing images, while a microscope emphasizes magnification and detailed analysis of small objects without depth perception.
How does the term stereo help explain the difference between a stereoscope and a microscope?(1 point)
