Stumpf Stereobinoculars

Stumpf Stereo binoculars are an optical instrument created by German mechanical optician Peter Stumpf in 1861. He was the first person to invent and sell true stereoscopic binoculars, which allowed objects to be seen in three dimensions.

Stumpf began his career in optics in the 1950s, working for Carl Zeiss. In 1859, he developed the first stereoscopic microscope, which he used to study the microworld. In 1860 he created the first stereoscopic telescope, and in 1861 the first stereo binoculars.

Stumpf's stereo binoculars were very popular in the 19th century and were used for many purposes, including scientific research, astronomy and military reconnaissance. However, Stumpf's invention was not the only one on the market. At the end of the 19th century, other models of stereo binoculars appeared, which were more advanced and easier to use.

Today, Stumpf's stereo binoculars are a collector's item and prized among optics enthusiasts and collectors.
