title: Stereomicroscopy in clinical microbiology.
abstract: The stereoscopic microscope has many applications in clinical microbiology, relating generally to the examination of colonial morphology. However, although potentially important in the routine microbiology laboratory, little use is made of the stereomicroscope. In this paper the applications of this form of microscopy are briefly reviewed and the considerable benefits that may be obtained from its use outlined.
