View Patent ↗Stereoscopic microscope comprising an optical inverter system ( 21 a , 21 b ) for erecting a pseudo-stereoscopic image and reversing the viewing beams thereof, wherein the inverter system comprises at least one deflector element ( 21 a , 21 b ) having a focal power.
1. In a stereoscopic microscope of a type comprising an optical inverter system that erects a pseudo-stereoscopic image by reversing the pair of viewing beams of the pseudo-stereoscopic image and also laterally reversing this image, the pair of viewing beams traveling along a viewing beam path, the improvement comprising:
the optical inverter system includes a deflector element that changes direction of the viewing beam path other than by refracting the viewing beam, wherein the deflector element has a focal power.
2. The improvement according to claim 1 , wherein the inverter system includes two deflector elements each changing direction of the viewing beam path and having a focal power.
3. The improvement according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the two deflector elements is a concave mirror.
4. The improvement according to claim 1 , further comprising a decoupling device arranged in the viewing beam path to couple out an assistant viewing beam path.
5. In a stereoscopic microscope of a type comprising an optical inverter system that erects a pseudo-stereoscopic image by reversing the pair of viewing beams of the pseudo-stereoscopic image and also laterally reversing this image, the pair of viewing beams traveling along a viewing beam path, the improvement comprising:
the optical inverter system includes a concave mirror that changes directions of the viewing beam path by reflection, wherein the concave mirror has a focal power.
