Abstract
The ophthalmic workstation comprises a table having a top surface, a base unit mounted to the table, a microscope, and a headrest. The base unit includes an X-displacement stage, a Z-displacement stage, and a platform mounted to the X-displacement stage and the Z-displacement stage. The microscope is mounted to the platform. The table comprises an opening in its top surface. An embedded section of the base unit is located, at least in part, in this recess or opening. The headrest is mounted to a headrest section of the base unit, which projects laterally over an edge of the table.

An ophthalmic workstation comprising:
- a table having a top surface,
- a base unit mounted to said table, with said base unit comprising:
- a) an X-displacement stage,
- b) a Z-displacement stage,
- c) a platform mounted to said X-displacement stage and said Z-displacement stage and being displaceable horizontally along perpendicular X- and Z-directions parallel to the top surface,
- a microscope mounted to said platform,
- wherein the table comprises an opening in the top surface and wherein the base unit comprises an embedded section located in the opening below the top surface, and
- wherein the platform is arranged in a chamber of the base unit.
An ophthalmic workstation comprising:
- a table having a top surface,
- a base unit mounted to said table, with said base unit comprising:
- a) an X-displacement stage,
- b) a Z-displacement stage,
- c) a platform mounted to said X-displacement stage and said Z-displacement stage and being displaceable horizontally along perpendicular X- and Z-directions parallel to the top surface,
- a microscope mounted to said platform, wherein the table comprises an opening in the top surface and wherein the base unit comprises an embedded section located in the opening below the top surface, and
- a headrest mounted to the base unit, wherein said base unit comprises a headrest section holding the headrest and projecting horizontally over an edge of the table,
- wherein the embedded section is connected to the headrest section of the base unit, wherein a maximum height of the embedded section is smaller than a maximum height of the headrest section.
An ophthalmic workstation, comprising:
- a table having a top surface,
- a base unit mounted to said table, with said base unit comprising:
- a) an X-displacement stage,
- b) a Z-displacement stage,
- c) a platform mounted to said X-displacement stage and said Z-displacement stage and being displaceable horizontally along perpendicular X- and Z-directions parallel to the top surface,
- a microscope mounted to said platform,
- wherein the table comprises an opening in the top surface and wherein the base unit comprises an embedded section located in the opening below the top surface,
- an access opening above the platform, wherein said platform is movable between a plurality of working positions in respect to the access opening along the X- and Z-directions,
- a microscope support connected to the platform through the access opening, and
- a shield connected to the microscope support, wherein said shield is adjacent to the access opening and large enough to cover the access opening in all of said working positions.
An ophthalmic workstation, comprising:
- a table having a top surface,
- a base unit mounted to said table, with said base unit comprising:
- a) an X-displacement stage,
- b) a Z-displacement stage,
- c) a platform mounted to said X-displacement stage and said Z-displacement stage and being displaceable horizontally along perpendicular X- and Z-directions parallel to the top surface,
- a microscope mounted to said platform,
- wherein the table comprises an opening in the top surface and wherein the base unit comprises an embedded section located in the opening below the top surface, and
- wherein the embedded section comprises at least one of the X-displacement stage and the Z-displacement stage.
