A Siedentopf binocular observation head is a laboratory instrument used in microscopy to provide a binocular viewing experience for the user. It consists of two eyepieces and a viewing head that can be adjusted to different inter-pupillary distances for comfortable viewing. The Siedentopf design allows for the distance between the eyepieces to be adjusted without changing the focus of the microscope, providing a more seamless viewing experience.

The binocular observation head typically has a diopter adjustment to correct for differences in the user’s eyesight, and may also have an adjustable inclination angle for greater comfort during use. It is commonly used in research and clinical laboratories for a variety of applications, including histology, pathology, and microbiology. The Siedentopf binocular observation head provides a more ergonomic and comfortable viewing experience compared to traditional monocular observation heads.
