Abstract
A microscope is disclosed with a stage which is adjustable in coordinates X, Y and/or Z, with a drive for stage adjustment and with a control circuit for presetting different adjusting speeds. In a microscope of the type mentioned above, a device is provided for showing the given adjusting speed during the adjustment of the stage in at least one of coordinates X, Y, Z. Therefore, it is advantageously possible during the adjustment and/or programming of the microscope to visually perceive the adjusting speed or to display speed gradations which are not otherwise detectable in the eyepiece.
Claims4
A microscope with a stage which is adjustable in at least one of X, Y and Z coordinates comprising:
- a light source for transmitted light operation and/or reflected light operation of the microscope;
- at least one stage drive for stage adjustment;
- control circuit for presetting different adjusting speeds;
- a control circuit for presetting different brightnesses for the light source;
- a display device for showing respective preset brightness and for showing respective adjusting speeds in at least one of coordinates X, Y and Z;
- said display device being connected in a selectable manner with the control circuit for the stage drive or with the control circuit for the light source by a switchover device;
- and
- an operating mode selector for operation of the microscope in programming mode or in microscope mode, wherein said switchover device is connected with the control circuit for the stage drive in the programming mode and with the control circuit for the light source in the microscope operating mode.
