The stereoscope relies upon the principle that each eye sees a slightly different view and that these two dissimilar pictures are united by the brain. Pictures used in stereoscopic imagery are almost identical, save for a slight difference in the amount of the view from either side (the left or right). Viewed through the stereoscope, the flat images seem to become one picture with three-dimensional depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-staging.routledgelearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/assets\/sites\/16\/Pape_Holmes_stereoscope.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-staging.routledgelearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/assets\/sites\/16\/Pape_Holmes_stereoscope.jpg 545w, https:\/\/cdn-staging.routledgelearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/assets\/sites\/16\/Pape_Holmes_stereoscope-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Holmes stereoscope<\/em>.

See the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reframingphotography.com\/page\/content\/buy-book\">Reframing Photography<\/a>&nbsp;book for detailed descriptions of how to make cards and a viewer.
