Load suspension stand and microscopy system

1. A load suspension stand comprising:

a first stand member;

a second stand member;

a joint pivotably linking the first stand member to the second stand member;

a cam plate rotatably fixed to the first stand member,

a load transmission lever;

an abutment adapted to pivotably support the load transmission lever at the second stand member;

a load reservoir acting on the second stand member and on the load transmission lever in order to exert a force on the cam plate via the load transmission lever; and

a drive adapted to displace the abutment relative to the load transmission lever.

2. The stand according to claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate lever being pivotably mounted on the second stand member, whereby the load transmission lever transmits the force to the cam plate via the intermediate lever.

3. The stand according to claim 1 , wherein the abutment comprises a roller with the load transmission lever being abutted against its periphery.

4. The stand according to claim 3 , wherein the drive comprises a slide being displaceable relative to the second stand member and having the periphery of the roller abutted against it.

5. The stand according to claim 4 , wherein the drive comprises a motor for displacing the slide relative to the second stand member.

6. The stand according to claim 3 , wherein the roller comprises a periphery having cogs.

7. The stand according to claim 1 , wherein the cam plate comprises a periphery, the distance of which to a center of the cam plate varies in a circumferential direction around the center, with a ratio between a first distance at a first circumferential direction and a second distance at a second circumferential direction being particularly greater than 1.1, and the second circumferential direction forming an angle of more than 20° with the first circumferential direction.

8. The stand according to claim 1 , further comprising at least a third stand member being articulated to the first or to the second stand member.

9. A microscopy system comprising:

a microscopy optic; and

a load suspension stand having a plurality of stand members comprising a base stand member and a final stand member supporting the microscopy optic;

wherein the load suspension stand comprises a first stand member; a second stand member; a joint pivotably linking the first stand member to the second stand member; a cam plate rotatably fixed to the first stand member; a load transmission lever; an abutment adapted to pivotably support the load transmission lever at the second stand member; a load reservoir acting on the second stand member and on the load transmission lever in order to exert a force on the cam plate via the load transmission lever; and a drive adapted to displace the abutment relative to the load transmission lever.

10. The microscopy system according to claim 9 , further comprising an intermediate lever being pivotably mounted on the second stand member, whereby the load transmission lever transmits the force to the cam plate via the intermediate lever.

11. The microscopy system according to claim 9 , wherein the abutment comprises a roller with the load transmission lever being abutted against its periphery.

12. The microscopy system according to claim 11 , wherein the drive comprises a slide being displaceable relative to the second stand member and having the periphery of the roller abutted against it.

13. The microscopy system according to claim 12 , wherein the drive comprises a motor for displacing the slide relative to the second stand member.

14. The microscopy system according to claim 11 , wherein the roller comprises a periphery having cogs.

15. The microscopy system according to claim 9 , wherein the cam plate comprises a periphery, the distance of which to a center of the cam plate varies in a circumferential direction around the center, with a ratio between a first distance at a first circumferential direction and a second distance at a second circumferential direction being particularly bigger than 1.1, and the second circumferential direction forming an angle of more than 20° with the first circumferential direction.

16. The microscopy system according to claim 9 , further comprising at least a third stand member being articulated to the first or to the second stand member.
