Digital microscope having a click stop

A digital microscope comprising:

• a stationary stand body (12) including a shaft (24) having a longitudinal axis (26);
• a pivot unit (14) mounted on the shaft (24) of the stand body (12) pivotably about the longitudinal axis (26) of the shaft (24), the pivot unit (14) including an image sensing unit for acquiring images of objects to be examined microscopically;
• a brake unit (22) for braking and/or immobilizing the pivot unit (14);
• and
• an actuation element (44) for releasing the brake unit (22),
• the pivot unit (14) including a first connecting element (60),
• the stand body (12) including a second connecting element (62),
• the first connecting element (60) and the second connecting element (62) being coupled to one another when the pivot unit (14) is in a predetermined zero position and the actuation element (44) is in an unactuated default position, and
• the first connecting element (60) and the second connecting element (62) being coupled to one another when the pivot unit (14) is in the zero position and the actuation element (44) is actuated within a predetermined first actuation range.
