Adjustable, ergonomic microscope base

A method for adjusting a microscope for regulating overall vertical height, as well as rearward vertical height of the microscope, by raising or lowering the vertical elevation and the forwardly inclined pitch of the microscope relative to a support surface, said method comprises:

• (a) providing a support device, said support device having first and second bases, having the first base pivotally attached to the second base and the second base is attached to the microscope in an unmovably mounted relationship with an upper surface of the second base;
• (b) providing at least two first adjustment members, threadingly connected to the first base and providing for raising and lowering the vertical height of the first base relative to the support surface;
• (c) providing at least one second adjustment member, threadingly secured to the second base and providing for raising and lowering the vertical height of the rearward portion of the second base relative to the elevation of the first base through a range of adjustments to provide an incline to the second base sloping downwardly from the rearward portion to the forward portion, wherein the pitch of the second base provides the microscope at a comfortable position;
• (d) rotating said first adjustment members causing the shaft to retract, or extend above the upper surface of the first base thereby varying the distance from the support surface to the first base;
• and
• (e) rotating said second adjustment member causing the shaft to retract or extend above the upper surface of the second support and thereby varying the rearward vertical height of the second base and the attached microscope thereby varying the forwardly inclined pitch of the attached microscope relative to the first base.
