Abstract: An optical device, particularly a polarimeter, is provided for analyzing a liquid sample, having: a light-generating system for generating light for the surface irradiation of the sample; a detection system which is set up for the spatially resolved detection of light which originates from the transmission of the light provided for the surface irradiation through the sample; a telecentric optical system with a lens between the sample and the detection system and with an aperture diaphragm in the focal plane of the lens between the lens and the detection system.

Abstract: An ATR sensor has a housing and sensor components in the housing including an electromagnetic radiation source for emitting a predefined wavelength range, a reflection body permeable for radiation and contactable with a fluid to be evaluated, and a detector for the reflected radiation as well as other members for conducting the measurement and for operation. The sensor is particularly suited for measuring a CO2 content of a fluid. Before sealing the housing in a gas-tight manner, in particular for avoiding a measurement value drift and for keeping the radiation paths free of CO2, a CO2 getter material is introduced into the housing and/or into a receiving space of an additional housing that communicates with the interior space of the housing before sealing the interior space and/or the receiving space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a holder for at least one capture device (30) for collecting microdissected specimens, having a holding element (2) in which the at least one capture device (30) is to be arranged, the holding element (2) being transferable into a working position in order to collect microdissected specimens, the holding element (2) being mounted by way of at least two levers (3a, 3b) in a frame (1) of the holder (40), and being vertically displaceable relative to said frame (1) by way of a displacement of the levers (3a, 3b).

Abstract: A microscope objective changer includes a changing device for changing at least two objectives. A movable objective holder corresponds to each objective. Each movable objective holder is configured to receive a respective one of the objectives and to transfer the respective objective along a respective displacement path from an allocated stand-by position into an operating position. A carrier is associated with each objective holder and includes a guide groove constituting the respective displacement path. Each displacement path includes a first portion beginning at the respective stand-by position and extends substantially perpendicular to the optical axis and a second portion directly bordering the first portion that includes a downwardly component in a direction parallel to the optical axis such that each objective holder is movable from the respective stand-by position to the optical axis of the operating position when reaching a lower end of the second portion of the displacement path.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microscope (1). The microscope (1) comprises a microscope stand (3) and a component (8) arranged movably relative to the microscope stand (3). The microscope stand (3) and the movably arranged component (8) each comprise a surface (11, 10). A gap (9) that can be encroached into from outside is defined by the mutually facing surfaces (11, 10) of the microscope stand (3) and of the movably arranged component (8). The gap (9) changes as a function of the movement of the component (8). The pinching protection apparatus is intended in particular to be of economical configuration and/or to enable a modular microscope concept. The microscope according to the present invention is characterized by a pinching protection apparatus having at least one encroachment protection device (13) that is arranged in the gap (9), is embodied as a thin plate, and extends between the two surfaces in the gap (9).

Abstract: An objective changer for a microscope is described, comprising a changing device for transferring at least a first objective held in a first objective holder from a first stand-by position along a first transfer path into an operating position where the first objective defines an optical axis and a second objective held in a second objective holder from a second stand-by position along a second transfer path into an operating position where the second objective defines an optical axis. The first and second transfer paths differ from each other but both extend substantially perpendicular to the optical axis at least within a first area of the first transfer path and a first area of the second transfer path.

Abstract: An ergonomic microscope (1) and a microscope carrier (2) are disclosed. The microscope encompasses a stand (3) which possesses a stand base (3a) that defines an external contour (3b). The microscope (1) is placed onto the microscope carrier (2). The microscope carrier (2) comprises a body (4) and a left and a right hand rest (6). The left and the right hand rest (6) are attached to the body (4) so as to pivot freely and independently of one another. A height adjustment of the microscope carrier (2) results in a pivoting of the hand rests (6) in such a way that their front edges (6a) rest on the bench surface (50) regardless of the height adjustment.
