Abstract
A digital microscope includes a stationary stand body () and a pivot unit () mounted on a shaft () of the stand body (), pivotably about a longitudinal axis () of the shaft (). The pivot unit () has an image sensing unit for acquiring images of objects to be examined microscopically. Microscope () furthermore has a brake unit () for braking and/or immobilizing the pivot unit (), the brake unit () including at least one brake element (to) biased by an elastic element () into a braked position. Microscope () includes an actuation element () for releasing the brake unit (), the brake element (to) being movable by manual actuation of the actuation element (), against return force of the elastic element (), from the braked position into a released position, and the actuation element () being coupled to the brake element (to).
