Abstract
An adjusting device () is suitable especially for use on a stand () for a surgical microscope (). The adjusting device () makes it possible to move the surgical microscope () in a plane () perpendicular to the optical axis () of the surgical microscope (). For this purpose, a transmission is provided in the adjusting device () which includes a coupling plate which is operatively connected to two force-transmitting elements. When this transmission is moved, at least one of the force-transmitting elements rolls off on the coupling plate. Alternatively, this transmission can be built up as a four-point linkage chain or contain a rhombic mechanism or lever mechanism. It is also possible to configure the transmission with belt elements or to configure the same as an eccentric arrangement having two offset rotation centers.
