An operating microscope has a main objective (1) that extends along an objective plane and is penetrated by a binocular main observer beam path and a binocular co-observer beam path. The binocular main observer beam path has two main observation pupils (3a, 3b) in the objective plane with centers on a first straight line (7). The binocular co-observer beam path has two co-observation pupils (5a, 5b) in the objective plane with centers on a second straight line (9). The first and second straight lines (7, 9) intersect. The co-observer beam path can be displaced with respect to the main observer beam path so that the angle between the second and first straight line (9, 7) changes. The center point (6) between the co-observation pupils (5a, 5b) in the objective plane displaces when there is a change in the angle between the second and first imagined straight lines (9, 7).
An operating microscope with a main objective (1) that extends along an objective plane and is penetrated by a binocular main observer beam path and a binocular co-observer beam path, wherein
A method for pivoting a co-observer microscope (13) of an operating microscope with a main microscope (11), which has a stereoscopic main observer beam path, a co-observer microscope (13), which has a stereoscopic co-observer beam path, and a main objective (1) that extends along an objective plane and is penetrated by both the binocular main observer beam path and the binocular co-observer beam path, wherein the binocular main observer beam path has a pair of main observation pupils (3a, 3b) in the objective plane, the centers of which pupils are interconnected by a first imagined straight line (7) running in the objective plane, the binocular co-observer beam path has a pair of co-observation pupils (5a, 5b) in the objective plane, the centers of which pupils are interconnected by a second imagined straight line (9) running in the objective plane, and the first imagined straight line (7) and the second imagined straight line (9) intersect at an angle, characterized in that the center point (6) between the co-observation pupils (5a, 5b) is displaced in the objective plane when the co-observer microscope (13) is pivoted around the optical axis of the main objective (1).
