It appears to be a binocular microscope, but not a stereo microscope. A stereo microscope has two separate optical paths to the specimen, one for each eye.
A non-stereo binocular microscope has one optical path from the specimen to the eyepiece assembly, and then uses a prism to split that so that it can be sent two eyepieces. This increases comfort and reduces eyestrain compared to a single eyepiece microscope.
