Abstract
A stereoscopic microscope including a stereoscopic optical system for observing an object under examination, an index projected on the object, a light-receiving unit for receiving an image of the index reflected by the object, an image variable magnification unit for changing the size of the reflected image on the light-receiving unit, a variable magnification detection unit for detecting the magnification set by the image variable magnification unit, and an operation unit for calculating a curved shape of the object from data from the detection unit and data from the light-receiving unit.
Claims12
A stereoscopic microscope comprising:
- a stereoscopic optical system for observing a curved object under examination;
- means for projecting a light beam onto the object;
- light-receiving means for indicating the position of an image of the light beam reflected by the object;
- image variable magnification means for changing a size of the reflected image on said light-receiving means;
- variable magnification detection means which indicates the position of said image variable magnification means for detecting the magnification selected by said image variable magnification means;
- and
- operation means which receives data from said detection means and said light receiving means for calculating a curved shape of the object.
