  • MICROSCOPE WITH OVERSIZED ZOOM SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20200326521
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microscope (10) that encompasses an objective system (30) having at least two objectives (44, 52) selectably introducible into the beam path of the microscope (10), and a zoom system (32). The zoom system (32) has a total zoom range (90) within which the focal length of the zoom system (32) is settable. A zoom sub-range (96, 98) within the total zoom range (90) is allocated to each of the objectives (44, 52).

  • Microscope with objective-dependent limitation of the rotation angle of the zoom rotary wheel
    Patent number: 9618735
    Abstract: A microscope (10) includes an objective system (30) and a zoom system (32). The microscope (10) furthermore has a manually rotatable rotary wheel (108) for adjusting the magnification of the zoom system (32), the rotary wheel (108) being rotatable within a predetermined maximum rotation range. The rotary wheel (108) includes a first engagement element (162, 164). In addition, at least one second engagement element (130 to 136) is movably mounted on a housing (100) of the microscope (10). This second engagement element (130 to 136) is movable between a deactivated and an activated position, being in engagement with the first engagement element (162, 164) in an activated position. The position of the second engagement element (130 to 136) is determined by the respective objective (44, 52) currently received in the beam path.
