Attachment module for a microscope, having an ophthalmoscopic lens () and an inverting device () for inverting an image of an object () that is to be observed generated by means of the ophthalmoscopic lens, wherein the inverter device comprises at least four deflection surfaces () by means of which observation beam paths () which emanate from the object to be observed can be introduced into a main objective () of the microscope, at least two deflection surfaces being planar and at least two further deflection surfaces being non-planar, particularly spherical or in the shape of free-form surfaces.

A stereomicroscope () has first and second main beam paths () whose spacing defines a stereo base (), a microscope axis () proceeding through the center of the stereo base () parallel to the main beam paths; and an optical beam splitter device () for generating an assistant's beam path () and a documentation beam path (), the assistant's beam path being outcoupled from the first main beam path in a first position of the beam splitter device, and from the second main beam path in a second position, and the documentation beam path being outcoupled from the other main beam path; and the direction of the assistant's beam path in the first position being rotated 180&#xb0; relative to the assistant's beam path in the second position; and the outcoupled documentation beam path extending, in both positions of the beam splitter device, perpendicular to the outcoupled assistant's beam path.

A zero-degree assistant's device for a microscope has a tube carrier () for the principal observer's tube, an interface () for the microscope body, an assistant's module (), pivotable about an axis (), having an interface () for an assistant's tube, and having a retaining device () for releasing and immobilizing the assistant's module (), the tube carrier () for the principal observer's tube being mounted tiltably about a rotation axis () in such a way that tilting of the tube carrier () for the principal observer's tube into a tilted position makes possible unrestricted pivoting of the assistant's module ().
