Stereomicroscope

Abstract

A stereomicroscope includes a microscope main body and a camera for assistant. The microscope main body includes therein an objective optical system, a zoom optical system and an eyepiece optical system. The camera for assistant is detachably mounted to the microscope main body. The microscope main body provides to a main operator a pair of optical images including a certain binocular disparity as viewed from an observation direction of the main operator. The camera for assistant provides to an assistant a pair of electron images including a certain binocular disparity as viewed from an observation direction of the assistant. The observation directions of the main operator and the assistant cross at a certain angle. The camera for assistant outputs the pair of electron images into a stereo viewer which is separated from the microscope main body.

1 . A stereomicroscope comprising:
 a microscope main body including therein an objective optical system, a zoom optical system and an eyepiece optical system; and   a camera for assistant detachably mounted to the microscope main body,   wherein   the microscope main body provides to a main operator a pair of optical mages including a certain binocular disparity as viewed from an observation direction of the main operator,   the camera for assistant provides to an assistant a pair of electron images including a certain binocular disparity as viewed from an observation direction of the assistant,   the observation directions of the main operator and the assistant cross at a certain angle, and   the camera for assistant outputs the pair of electron images into a stereo viewer which is separated from the microscope main body.   
   
   
       2 . The stereomicroscope according to  claim 1 , wherein the observation directions of the main operator and the assistant cross at about right angles. 
   
   
       3 . The stereomicroscope according to  claim 1 , wherein the camera for assistant includes an objective optical system and a zoom optical system which are independent from the microscope main body.
