Abstract: Disclosed is an attachment for a standalone optical device to alleviate back and neck strain which allows the eyes of the user relative to the eyepieces of the optical device, with embodiments allowing inclusion of preset values such as shape and dimension of the user's face, eye relief distance, pupillary distance. Movement of the eyes is achieved either by a mechanical pivot or by stretching of the mask being comprised of flexible material.

Abstract: Disclosed is an attachment for a standalone optical device to alleviate back and neck strain which allows the eyes of the user relative to the eyepieces of the optical device, with embodiments allowing inclusion of preset values such as shape and dimension of the user's face, eye relief distance, pupillary distance. Eye relief may be optimized by the size and shape of the mask or by an adjustable eye relief mechanism. Movement of the eyes is achieved either by a mechanical pivot or by stretching of the mask being comprised of flexible material.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for illuminating a surface to be observed microscopically using a retractable beamsplitter. The retractable beamsplitter allows the use of coaxial illumination when the beamsplitter is positioned in the operator's line of sight. The retractable beamsplitter allows the use of non-coaxial illumination without reducing the amount of illumination that reaches the operator when the beamsplitter is retracted from the operator's line of sight. As a result a single system can be used effectively to provide various types of illumination.

Abstract: The invention is a novel stereoscopic illumination system for a microscope which delivers at least two collimated light beams to a subject surface. Each of the two collimated light beams is delivered for an eye of the user. Additionally, a third light beam is provided at an angle oblique to the other two collimated light beams.
