Abstract
The invention proposes a changer device for optical elements () in stereomicroscopes with which a pair of optical elements () can be inserted in the two stereo channels () of a stereomicroscope. A particularly compact construction can be achieved by arranging the optical elements () side by side in an arc, more particularly in a circle, while between the elements of a pair of elements () associated with the two stereo channels (), at least one other optical element () is provided, and in that the center () of the arcuate or circular arrangement () is shifted laterally away from the middle () of the stereobase of the stereo channels ().
