Morphology
stereomicroscope = microscope (semi-transparent) = stereo + microscope
The combination 'stereo' (three-dimensional) + 'microscope' yields a microscope giving a 3D view, but learners may know 'stereo' mainly from audio and not immediately map it to 3D viewing.
Etymology
The word stereomicroscope combines stereo- meaning 'three-dimensional', as in stereo sound, with microscope, which has micro- 'small' and -scope 'look'. So a stereomicroscope is a microscope that lets you see and handle small things in three dimensions.
