  • Publication number: 20210223526
    Abstract: A microscope is described, having an illumination light path for illuminating a sample or object and a viewing light path for viewing the sample. The microscope comprises an illumination light path focusing arrangement in the illumination light path, which comprises a scanning module for generating a substantially two-dimensional sample or object illumination region extending along an illumination direction of the illumination light path and a direction transverse thereto. The microscope further comprises an illumination region-confining device in the illumination light path for selectively illuminating a portion of the substantially two-dimensional object illumination region, wherein the portion of the substantially two-dimensional object illumination region is confined at least in the illumination direction and/or in the direction transversely thereto.

  • Patent number: 10908403
    Abstract: A microscope is described, having an illumination light path for illuminating a sample or object and a viewing light path for viewing the sample. The microscope includes an illumination light path focussing arrangement in the illumination light path, defining a substantially two-dimensional sample or object illumination region extending along an illumination direction of the illumination light path and transversely thereto. The microscope further includes an illumination region-confining device in the illumination light path for selectively illuminating a portion of the substantially two-dimensional object illumination region, wherein the portion of the substantially two-dimensional object illumination region is confined at least in the illumination direction and/or in the direction transversely thereto.

  • Patent number: 7062349
    Abstract: In a control equipment for an industrial sewing machine, it being possible, via switchgears such as switches, probes, sensors or the like, to switch on or off functions and connection states, by a certain voltage level being applied to an input circuit of the control, the input circuit generating an output signal, it is provided that upon the application of varying input voltages Ue, the output voltages Ua generated are the same in each case.
