Abstract: A beam splitter device (1) for a microscope (2), and for a microscope imaging method, supports at least two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14). The two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14) have different reflection-to-transmission ratios. The beam splitter device (1) has an optical path (3, 3a, 3b). A first one of the two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14) is configured to be moved from a first operation position (15), in which the first beamsplitting surface (4) is located in the optical path, to a second operation position (16), in which a second (14) of the beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14) is located in the optical path. With this configuration, it is possible to change the available light in the branches (3a, 3b) of the optical path (3) after the beamsplitting surface (4, 14). This is useful if one of the branches (3a, 3b) is directed to an exit port (8) configured to receive a camera. By directing more light to the camera exit port (8), the image quality of the camera is improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a beam splitter device (1) for a microscope (2), in particular a stereoscopic microscope and to a microscope imaging method, in particular a stereoscopic microscope imaging method. The beam splitter device (1) supports at least two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14). Each of the at least two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14) has a different reflection-to-transmission ratio. The beam splitter device (1) further comprises an optical path (3, 3a, 3b). At least one of the at least two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14) are configured to be moved from a first operation position (15), in which a first (4) of the at least two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14) is located in the optical path, to a second operation position (16), in which a second (14) of the at least two beamsplitting surfaces (4, 14) is located in the optical path. With this configuration, it is possible to change the available light in the branches (3a, 3b) of the optical path (3) after the beamsplitting surface (4, 14).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for modifying and adjusting the braking force in a hydraulic brake system in a vehicle, whereby the pedal control exercised by the driver is measured and is converted via a predefined function into braking pressure to be produced in a wheel brake device, said pressure corresponding to a deceleration of the vehicle. In order to increase the braking safety, the braking pressure or the variable correlating with the braking pressure can be individually manipulated as a function of the pedal control within a section of said pedal control between the initial starting point and maximum pedal control point.
