Usually it's the stereo microscope that we use to observe tick morphology; but my question is why the conventional light/optical microscope is not used for this purpose and if possible, is there a special method for it?

It's possible for immature/unengorged specimens by preparing the microscopical slide.

In our parasitology laboratory we detect the stages of egg and larva of ticks with a optic microscope and the nymph and adult stages of ticks with a stereomicroscope.

Yes, you can observe it with optical microscope. And for taxonomy steriomicroscope will help
