Abstract
A stereomicroscope has an objective system, a zoom system, and an eyepiece system. The zoom system consists of two systems that are juxtaposed at the same height. This arrangement reduces the vertical size of a body (2) of the stereomicroscope, allows an observer to easily see a target below the stereomicroscope with the naked eye as and when required, and improves workability when an assistant microscope (7) is attached to the stereomicroscope.
Claims13
A stereomicroscope comprising:
- an objective system having a vertical optical axis;
- two zooms systems horizontally juxtaposed at the same height as each other;
- and
- an eyepiece system disposed substantially above the objective system,
- wherein light from the zoom systems is reflected toward the vertical optical axis to pass through the eyepiece system.

A stereomicroscope comprising:
- an objective system arranged vertically;
- two zoom systems horizontally juxtaposed at the same height as each other;
- an eyepiece system;
- and
- an assistant microscope attachable to and detachable from the stereomicroscope, the assistant microscope having an objective system, a zoom system, and an eyepiece system that are independent of those of the stereomicroscope, wherein:
- the assistant microscope is attached to an inlet opening of the stereomicroscope at an observation target side, the inlet opening receiving light from an observation target.

A stereomicroscope comprising:
- an objective system having a vertical optical axis;
- two zoom systems horizontally juxtaposed at the same height as each other,
- an eyepiece system disposed substantially above the objective system;
- and
- a second eyepiece system attachable to and detachable from the stereomicroscope, the second eyepiece system being located opposite to the eyepiece system of the stereoscope,
- wherein light from the zoom systems is reflected toward the vertical optical axis to pass through the eyepiece system and the second eyepiece system is attached to the stereomicroscope to receive light from the zoom systems.
