Abstract
A microscope suitable for use together with MRI, and a support stand for the microscope are provided. A microscope is a non-magnet type where any electric motor is not used, and hence does not induce fluctuations of magnetic field having effects on image quality of an MRI by focusing or zooming. Hence, the microscope of the invention is suitable for use together with MRI . Since a clutch C is of non-magnet type, a support stand does not induce changes in the surrounding magnetic field environments if the clutch is operated, and hence it is suitable for use, for example, in proximity to the MRI.
