  • Patent number: 4936667
    Abstract: An attachment for a binocular microscope to provide appropriate correction for the ametropia, i.e., defective vision, of the user. The attachment includes a pair of holders which can be slipped over and frictionally held by the microscope's scope's binocular eyepiece tubes, each holder having a retainer for receiving and positioning respective eyeglass lenses appropriate for correcting the user's individual ametropia. Means are provided for preventing rotation of the eyeglass lenses when the microscope's binocular tubes are adjusted for the user's interpupillary distance, thereby maintaining the proper orientation of the lenses so that even astigmatism can be corrected. The attachment is applicable to binocular microscopes having oblique eyepiece tubes as well as those having conventional parallel eyepiece tubes.
