Stereo Microscopes: Also known as dissecting microscopes, stereo microscopes provide a three-dimensional view of the sample and are often used for dissection or examining larger specimens.

Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM): SEMs produce a detailed, three-dimensional image of the sample by scanning the surface with a focused electron beam. They are commonly used in materials science and biology.
Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM): TEMs transmit a beam of electrons through a thin section of the sample, creating a high-resolution image. They are often used to study the internal structure of cells and materials.
