Abstract: |
A stereoscope includes a body having a base panel and a septum panel, wherein the front and rear edges of the base and septum panels each define at least one respective tab. A lens assembly having a lens panel that supports a pair of lenses defines multiple tab receiving slots, each positioned to receive a respective one of the tabs to support the septum panel in a pre-determined position with respect to the base panel and to hold the lens assembly on the body. A stereoscopic view panel has a pair of stereoscopic views fixedly positioned on the view panel. The view panel defines multiple tab receiving slots, each receiving a respective one of the tabs to secure the view panel to both the septum and base panels, with the septum panel precisely positioned between the stereoscopic views.
