Abstract
A microscope stand for holding an optical and/or opto-electronical (e.g. video) observation system is mechanically connected to a microscope base, such as a basis plate, feet or rack or the like. In at least one embodiment, the microscope stand is made in two parts, the first part being provided for holding the observation system, and the second part is substantially positively connected to the first part. This second part includes at least one, preferably shaft-like, cavity, in which at least one electric or electronic component, which is preferably either an electric illumination system for the object to be examined by way of the observation system (in this respect the illumination system forms part of the observation system) and/or of an electronic camera system.
