Abstract
The invention concerns a microscope with a capability for switching between the deep ultra-violet and the visible spectral region having a displaceable tube lens changer ( ) with at least one tube lens ( ) for the IV light region and at least one tube lens ( ) for the visible light region and additionally having a reflector carrier having multiple reflectors ( ) arranged shiftably in the illuminating beam path on said reflector carrier ( ). The reflector carrier ( ) on the one hand and the tube lens changer ( ) on the other hand are mechanically coupled to one another in such a way that shifting the reflector carrier ( ) in the illuminating beam path to a specific reflector ( ) automatically displaces the tube lens changer ( ) in such a way that the latter arranges in the optical axis ( ) a tube lens ( ) corresponding to the reflector ( ).
