A stand for a surgical microscope includes a digiscope and an imaging unit which are interconnected and mounted on an arm of the stand at a joint rotatably about an axis of rotation. The digiscope and the imaging unit are arranged on a bridge such that a fixed spatial relationship, in particular a distance larger than zero between the digiscope and the imaging unit during a relative movement between the digiscope and the patient is maintained. A method for configuring a stand with a bridge includes determining distances between eyes of a surgeon and the imaging unit, between the surgeon and an operating field, between the receptacle of the digiscope and the operating field, and between the imaging unit and the receptacle of the digiscope, and determining a length of the bridge to optimally set a distance from the surgeon to the patient and the imaging unit for the surgeon.

The present invention, among other things, relates to a front-lens attachment () for an optical observation device (), in particular for a microscope. The front-lens attachment () has a retaining element () that has a retaining element (), on which at least one lens element () is disposed. Further, it provides a positioning device () for positioning the retaining element () and the at least one lens element () disposed thereon, relative to the optical observation device (), whereby retaining device () is disposed on positioning device (). Finally, a fastening means () for fastening the retaining device () to the front-lens attachment () is provided. In order to be able to provide such a front-lens attachment () in a structurally simple and cost-effective manner, it is provided, for example, that positioning device () has at least two positioning components (), which are joined together via a joint ().
