A transmitted-light microscope for imaging well-shaped, liquid-containing sample vessels, wherein the transmitted-light microscope has an illumination beam path for illuminating the sample vessel with an illumination beam bundle, from above, along an optical axis, wherein the illumination beam path has an illuminating element aligned to the optical axis, which element irradiates the illumination beam bundle onto the sample vessel, an imaging beam path for imaging the sample vessel from below along the optical axis and a pipette access channel for introducing a reagent into the sample vessel, wherein the illuminating element is annular and has an opening on the optical axis through which opening runs the pipette access channel.

Transmitted-light microscope and method for transmitted-light microscopy

The focusing operation of a microscope, control rotary knobs which receive the motion of fingers or hand of an operator to change the focus position relative to a sample under observation. Two of the control rotary knobs are on a common shaft and coaxial with one another and rotationally fixed with respect to one another, and are connected to a position encoder. A toggle switch which is connected to the control circuit and can be actuated by touching or moving one or both rotary control knobs. Whereby the drive circuit is configured such that it generates, as a function of the rotation of the two rotary knobs and as a function of the actuation or position of the toggle switch, a rough or fine adjustment of the focus position relative to the sample under observation.

Operating device for the focusing operation of a microscope

A laser radiation-guiding device including: a laser including a control unit; ports for connection of one module each, it being possible that laser radiation may exit at the ports. The device further can include joining part sensors respectively assigned to a port and whose electrical condition depends on whether a predetermined joining part is spaced apart from the respective port by less than a maximum distance in a predetermined orientation relative to the respective port, and an evaluating unit connected to the joining part sensors via a signal link that detects the electrical conditions of the joining part sensors and, depending on the detected conditions, emits a control signal to the control unit of the laser or to a laser radiation-blocking unit, by which emission of eye-damaging laser radiation to the ports of the device can be prevented inhibited.
