Abstract
The invention relates to an eyepiece unit with an eyepiece mounted in an eyepiece frame and with a coupling element for inserting the eyepiece frame. According to a first embodiment, the eyepiece is mounted so that it can slide axially in the eyepiece frame and can be fixed so that it is individually adjustable in the eyepiece frame. To ensure an easy and rapid adjustment in an eyepiece unit, it is proposed with the invention that the eyepiece can be fixed in the eyepiece frame without screws. According to a second embodiment, the eyepiece frame is mounted in the coupling element so that it slides perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis for adjustment. It is fixed in this adjustment position, according to the invention, because the eyepiece frame can be fixed in the coupling element without screws.
