Abstract
A special-illumination surgical video stereomicroscope having at least one light source for illuminating an in-situ specimen, at least one video imaging unit (104a) being provided for acquiring a fluorescence image of the specimen, the spectral sensitivity of the at least one video imaging unit (104a) exhibiting a higher spectral sensitivity in at least one light wavelength region of a special light radiation to be expected, e.g. fluorescence radiation, than in another light wavelength regions.
Claims21
A special-illumination surgical video stereomicroscope for observation of a specimen under special illumination, comprising:
- at least one video stereo observation beam path having a stereoscopic partial beam pair made up of two partial beam paths;
- a video imaging unit including at least one video chip for acquisition of a stereoscopic video image, the at least one video chip having two chip portions, wherein each of the two chip portions includes photoelectronic sensors;
- wherein a different one of the two partial beam paths is allocated to each of the two chip portions;
- and
- wherein a spectral sensitivity of one of the two chip portions differs from a spectral sensitivity of the other of the two chip portions.
