Abstract
The invention relates to a portable bracket for holding a microscope, especially a heavy surgical eye-operating microscope. The bracket has an inverted L-shape with an upright column or stand and a horizontal arm member. A hollow tube is located at the outer end of the horizontal arm to receive a vertical support tube or neck of a microscope. The hollow tube is adaptable to receive various sizes of microscopes and render any heavy microscope more portable by eliminating the normally cumbersome attachment mechanisms. The neck of the miroscope is secured in the tube by a side lock knob which clamps the neck within the tube and/or a top lock knob which is attached to the neck of the microscope and abuts against a top face of the tube.
