binocular microscope (medicine) and Isoantibody (medicine)


binocular microscope (medicine)


binocular microscope
<instrument, microscopy> A microscope fitted with double eyepieces for vision with both eyes. The purpose in dividing the same image from a single objective of the usual compound micro-scope is to reduce eyestrain and muscular fatigue which may result from monocular, high-power microscopy.

The purpose in obtaining a different image for each of two oculars is to provide stereoscopy by means of two different angles of view. There are two kinds of stereoscopic microscopes: binobjective (Greenough) older type and monobjective (common main objective) newer type. (See stereo microscope, Greenough microscope, etc.)


Isoantibody (medicine)


isoantibody
<immunology> Antibody produced by one individual in response to antigen from another individual of the same species. The antibody reacts with antigens (isoantigens) of another individual of the same species.
