The invention relates to a stereo microscope, which as a microscope used for operations comprises a viewing output for a surgeon () and at least one additional viewing output for an assistant (). The stereo microscope is characterized by shutters (to) for selectively screening off object information.

Enhanced shutter control for images that are faded into a stereo microscope

The invention relates to a stereo surgical microscope comprising at least one stop ( ) which can interrupt a main beampath in such a way that the user can only see one image when required, wherein the image is received via a reflected-in beam path ( ).

Stereo surgical microscope having an apparatus for reflecting in information

A stereo microscope comprises: a main objective; a main observation output configured so that a left-hand beam path and a right-hand beam path are formed between the main objective and the main observation output; at least one input reflection beam splitter in each of the left-hand and right-hand beam paths configured to reflect additional information into its corresponding beam path; at least one output reflection beam splitter in at least one of the left-hand and right-hand beam paths; at least one first switchable shutter associated with at least one of the left-hand and right-hand beam paths, located in front of a corresponding input reflection beam splitter; and at least one second switchable shutter associated with at least one of the left-hand and right-hand beam paths, located between the main observation output and a corresponding output reflection beam splitter.

Enhanced shutter control for image insertion in a stereo microscope

A viewing tube for an optical device and in particular for a microscope is described, in which there are provided in the beam path of the viewing tube beam splitters that deflect a portion of the light out to a simultaneous observation tube and/or to an imaging or recording unit, or reflect light from a display and/or processing unit into the beam path. In each beam path of the viewing tube there is provided only one beam splitter, which is rotatable about the optical axis of the respective beam path and always remains in the working position in the beam path. The respective beam splitter, depending upon its rotational position, deflects the reflected-out portion of the light into the corresponding beam path of the simultaneous observation tube or of the imaging or recording unit, or couples light into the beam path of the viewing tube.
