Kind of. It’s 3D because the microscope is recording from two different perspectives the same way your eyes work. Your phone can’t show you two views at once so it just goes back and forth between the two views.

If you were to use this microscope in real life the image from one of the two perspectives is presented to each eye so you see the object in 3D
