{wiki=Comparison_microscope}
A comparison microscope is a specialized optical device used to compare two separate specimens side by side under magnification. It consists of two microscopes that are connected by a shared optical system, allowing for simultaneous viewing of both specimens. This type of microscope is commonly employed in forensic science, particularly in the examination of firearms, hair, fibers, and all types of materials where detailed analysis and comparison are necessary.
