Abstract
A microscope-telescope combination fitted with an illumination apparatus of a compact and simple structure having an illumination apparatus is effectively applicable both as the illumination for the microscope and as the flashlight. A microscope-telescope combination is fitted with an illuminating apparatus comprising of a telescope optical system, an auxiliary objection lens for forming a microscope optical system arranged so as to be projected into and retracted from the front of said objective lens of said telescope optical system, and a light source supported so that its illuminaing direction is changeable to a first direction parallel to an optical axis of said telescope optical system and to a second direction directing toward an observation position of said microscope optical system.
Claims7
A microscope-telescope combination comprising:
- a telescope optical system having an optical axis and a primary objective lens arranged on said optical axis;
- an auxiliary objective lens movable between a first position on said optical axis projecting in front of said primary objective lens and a second position out of said optical axis retracted away from said primary objective lens, said auxiliary objective lens in said first position forming with said telescope optical system a microscope optical system;
- and
- a lamp having an illuminating direction, said lamp being spaced from said optical axis and movable to change said illuminating direction from a first direction parallel to said optical axis to function as a flashlight to at least a second direction intersecting said optical axis to illuminate a specimen placed along said optical axis.
A microscope-telescope combination comprising:
- a telescope optical system having a primary optical axis and a primary objective lens arranged on said primary optical axis;
- an auxiliary objective lens movable between a first position on said primary optical axis projecting in front of said primary objective lens and a second position out of said primary optical axis retracted away from said primary objective lens, said auxiliary objective lens in said first position forming with said telescope optical system a microscope optical system, and said auxiliary lens having a first side facing said primary objective lens and a second side facing an object to be examined using said microscope optical system;
- a light source having an illuminating direction intersecting said primary optical axis to illuminate a specimen placed along said primary optical axis;
- and
- a hood arranged in front of said second side of said auxiliary objective lens, said hood having a magnifier fitted therein, said magnifier having a secondary optical axis different from said primary optical axis.
