Abstract
Binocular loupes and stereo microscopes are expensive items of equipment. H owever, inexpensive operating microscopes (ophthalmic) with coaxial illumin ation have been constructed for use in developing countries, where there is little medical funding. We describe one method of transforming economicall y priced pocket binoculars into a portable stereo microscope with nearly co axial illumination.
