Abstract
In order to allow the surgical operator and his assistant to make stereoscopic viewing of the region of surgery with a same magnification and in coaxial relationship, the surgical microscope comprises: a common objective lens; a pair of variable magnification optical systems disposed on the image side of the objective lens; and a pair of light beam splitting members disposed on the image side of the pair of variable magnification optical systems, respectively, wherein arrangement is provided so that paired observational optical paths are to be directed to extend respectively in a plurality of directions each having a predetermined angle relative to a plane containing the optical axes of the pair of variable magnification optical systems, within a plane crossing these optical axes at right angles, respectively. The pair of light beam splitting members are constituted as an optical path splitting unit, and the barrel section and the optical path splitting unit are removably coupled to each other.
