An input coupling module selectively couples a beam path into a first or second stereoscopic component beam in a surgical microscope having an optical interface for guiding a beam path to be coupled-in. The input coupling module has a first beam splitter arranged in the first component beam and a second beam splitter arranged in the second component beam. The input coupling module contains an adjustable optics assembly, which selectively guides a beam path provided at the optical interface for coupling into the first or second component beam to the first beam splitter or the second beam splitter. The adjustable optics assembly includes an optical element displaceable by a linear movement from a first position to a second, position, and vice versa, for switching the beam path. The displaceable optical element is arranged in the beam path to be coupled-in in the first position and/or the second position.

Surgical microscope having optical interfaces

The invention relates to a tube for a surgical microscope. The tube has a base part, an intermediate part, which is pivotable about a rotational axis on the base part, and an ocular part which is pivotable about a rotational axis on the intermediate part. The imaging beam path is guided through the base part, the intermediate part and the pivotable ocular part. The tube has a tube lens system which transfers a parallel imaging beam paths into an intermediate image. The parallel imaging beam path enters via an opening in a connecting piece of the base part. The tube has a first displaceable mirror element which can be moved about the rotational axis on the base part. The tube lens system is a telesystem which has a lens unit having positive refractive power and a lens unit having negative refractive power.

Tube for a surgical microscope

A microscopy system method for inspecting a retina of an eye including generating an inverted intermediate image of the retina using an opthalmoscopic lens; detecting a left image of the intermediate image from a left viewing direction and detecting a right image of the intermediate image from a right viewing direction; and displaying an inverted representation of the detected left image to a right eye of a user and displaying an inverted representation of the detected right image to a left eye of the user.

Microscopy system and method

A light trap, a device for coupling a first beam path to a second beam path, and an illumination device for an optical observation device, as well as an optical observation device. The light trap is for eliminating or preventing stray light, e.g., in the form of scattered light. In order to be able to further improve the elimination of disruptive stray light in the form of scattered light, the light trap is configured in a special way. It has a filter element, particularly a neutral filter element, which is characterized in that an incident light face of the filter element has a concave radius, whereby the incident light face has a specific curvature.

A light source arrangement () for an illumination device of a medical-optical observation apparatus has an illumination light source () and an illumination optical unit () for illuminating an observation object () with illumination light from the illumination light source (). The light source arrangement () has at least one luminescence emitter () as light source and an imaging optical unit () that generates an image () of the at least one luminescence emitter () with a defined magnification scale, which image forms the illumination light source for the illumination device.

Light source arrangement for an illumination device of a medical-optical observation apparatus

A tube for an optical observation device, in particular for a microscope, with a viewing level that is linearly variable in length and/or height, wherein the tube has an optical light path, in which at least two optical elements are disposed, for example, deflecting elements. The tube can be designed, for example, as a swing-in tube, with a base part, wherein a deflecting element is disposed in the base part so that it can rotate around an axis of rotation, and with an eyepiece support that can swing in relative to the base part, wherein a deflecting element is disposed in the eyepiece support so that it can rotate around an axis of rotation. The optical elements may be disposed so that they can move independently of one another in the optical light path.

Tube for an observation device

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.
