The reason our brain makes us "see" in stereo is to generate three-dimensional (3D) images because our world has depth. However, what do we see when we observe a sample through a light microscope? What information do we perceive? Most light microscopes with a single light path just present us with a two-dimensional view of physical reality. This means one dimension is lost which significantly restricts our perception of the physical reality viewed. Consequently, some 2D microscope images will lack key information which may be essential to the interpretation of certain samples.
