Abstract: The invention concerns a tube (3) for a microscope (1), in which at least two beam paths are provided, wherein a change-over device is provided in the tube (3), by means of which device a first (5) or a second flat-field optical element can be rotated and/or moved selectively into the beam paths (2) of the beam paths (8) aligned by an objective (7), for aligning the beam paths for an observer, wherein the second flat-field optical element has a function of exchanging the beam paths and inverting the image. Further, the invention concerns a microscope (1) with such a tube (3).

Abstract: A surgical microscope (100) has an illuminating arrangement (110) which can guide illuminating light to the object region (105) with a first illuminating beam path (111) and with a second illuminating beam path (112). A light exit unit is provided in the first illuminating beam path (111). An illuminating field diaphragm is mounted in the second illuminating beam path. The first illuminating beam path (111) has an illuminating optic which images the light exit plane of the light exit unit or a plane conjugated to the light exit plane into a first image plane (350). An illuminating optic is provided in the second illuminating beam path (112) and this illuminating optic images the illuminating field diaphragm into a second image plane (250) different from the first image plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to an image reversion system (500) which enables an image reversion and beam transposition of a plurality of observation beam paths (503a, 503b, 504a and 504b) to be carried out simultaneously. The system includes at least one Porro prism system and is designed in such a way that it can be arranged in a convergent beam path. The inventive system is suitable as an image reversion system in an ancillary module for operational microscopes used in ophthalmoscopy due to the low overall height thereof.
