A camera holder () is provided for fixing a camera () or a camcorder to an optical observation device. The holder () has a variable-length sleeve () with a first end configured to receive the camera objective and a second end configured to secure the sleeve () relative to the optical observation device. The holder () also has an adjusting device () fixed to the sleeve (). The adjusting device () has a pin for connection with a stand mating thread of a camera () and is configured to compensate for an offset between the stand mating thread and the camera objective. The adjusting device () enables the camera () to be positioned with respect to the sleeve and the optical observation device.

The invention is directed to an illuminating arrangement (5) for a surgical microscope (1) having an illuminating beam path (7) which runs essentially coaxially to the optical axis (9) of the surgical microscope. The illuminating arrangement (5) includes an optical ancillary element (15) having a positive refractive power. The ancillary element (15) can be selectively pivoted into and out of the illuminating beam path. The illuminating aperture in the region of the optical axis (9) of the surgical microscope (1) is increased by pivoting the optical ancillary element (15) into the illuminating beam path (7). This is done without changing the viewing focal intercept of the surgical microscope (1).

A viewing arrangement includes an objective (5) having a variable intersection distance and an intersection-distance dependent oblique illumination (7) which is separate from the objective (5). The oblique illumination (7) includes two illuminating beam paths (9, 11) for completely illuminating contoured objects without shadows. The illuminating beam paths (9, 11) are inclined toward each other ahead of the object (13, 16) to be viewed. The mutual inclination of the two illuminating beam paths (9, 11) is dependent upon the particular intersection distance of the objective (5).

An illuminating device for a stereo microscope having an objective with variable imaging focal intercept includes first coupling mechanism, which effects a coupling between the imaging focal intercept of the objective and the likewise adjustable focal intercept of the illuminating optical system, separate from the observation optics, in such a manner that the illuminating focal intercept is in agreement with the imaging focal intercept of the objective. Moreover, adjusting mechanism is provided for the defined adjustment of the diameter of the illuminated field. In particular, the illuminating device is suitable for a surgical microscope.

Illuminating device for a stereo microscope

A prism component group is provided in a pivotable binocular tube assembly for a stereomicroscope. The prism component group is configured as a deflection prism with two roof prisms cemented thereto. The two roof prisms are offset relative to respective ones of the optical axes of the stereoscopic component beam paths.

The invention relates to a high-precision autofocusing arrangement for a stereomicroscope wherein a bar-shaped marking is projected via a cylinder optic on an object. The imaged bar-shaped marking is at least in one dimension less or equal to the resolution of the viewing beam path. A region of the objective not used optically is selected for projection as the pass-through pupil.
