The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IsO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been non-governmental, in liaison with isO, also take part in the work. isO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEc Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted bythe technical committees are circulatedto the member bodiesfor voting.Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

ISO 11884-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 5, Microscopes and endoscopes. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (isO 11884-2:1997), which has been technically revised. Iso 11884 consists of the following parts, under the general title Optics and photonics - Minimum requirementsforstereomicroscopes: Part 1: Stereomicroscopes forgeneral use Part2:Highperformancemicroscopes onal Organization for Standardization ISO2007-All rights reserved ISO 11884-2:2007(E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Optics and photonics Minimum requirements for stereomicroscopes - Part 2: High performance microscopes Scope This part of IsO 11884 specifies minimum requirements for high performance stereomicroscopes.
