The present invention relates to a stereo microscope () with a first and a second main beam path (), the spacing of which defines a stereo base (), wherein an axis of the microscope () extends through the middle of the stereo base () parallel to the main beam paths (), and with an optical beam splitter device () for producing an assistant beam path () and a documentation beam path (), wherein the direction of the assistant beam path () in a first position is rotated by 180&#xb0; to the direction of the assistant beam path () in a second position of the beam splitter device (), and the decoupled documentation beam path () in both positions of the beam splitter device () is in each case perpendicular to the decoupled assistant beam path (), and wherein in both the first and second positions of the beam splitter device () the assistant beam path () can in each case be decoupled at least from the first main beam path () and the documentation beam path () can in each case be decoupled at least from the second main beam path ().

Stereo microscope with beam splitter device

An apparatus for pupil distance adjustment for a binocular tube () has two eyepiece carriers (), at least one of which is mounted rotatably about a rotation axis (), a threaded spindle () being provided which is actuatable for pupil distance adjustment and by way of whose threads () the spacing of the two eyepiece carriers () is adjustable. The apparatus can be implemented in mechanically simple and compact fashion, and permits accurate adjustment of the pupil distance.

Apparatus for pupil distance adjustment for eyepieces

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 ().
