Why is it necessary to have a dissecting microscope? Under what circumstances would this type of microscope be more useful than a light microscope?

This has a lot to do with botany! A dissecting scope is necessary to see some of the tinier parts of flowers and small details that are needed to identify some plants. Some plant species cannot be identified without a dissecting scope (or powerful hand lens). Dissecting scopes are used for looking at three-dimensional things that need magnification greater than a hand lens and less than a regular microscope. You can also literally dissect small things which is sometimes necessary to see some particular part of a specimen.

The microscope was not invented by Anton van Leeuwenhoek, although he was the one to improve it. Three men in Netherlands at early 1600s, they were Hans Lippershey, Hans Janssen with his son Zacharias invented it. Also known as Stereo Microscope
