Abstract
Control system for a microscope with a sensor unit, an evaluating unit and at least one drive unit, the sensor unit having at least one movement sensor, is fixed to the microscope and is aligned with the head of the microscope of the user for detecting head movements of the latter. The evaluating unit is constructed for calculating the data received by the sensor unit and for transmitting a control signal to the at least one drive unit, and the at least one drive unit is constructed for driving means set up for adjusting at least one physical characteristic of the microscope.
Claims6
A Control system for microscopes, having a sensor unit, an evaluating unit, and at least one drive unit, the control system comprising:
- a) the sensor unit having at least one movement sensor affixed to the microscope and aligned with the head of the user for detecting head movements in both the x and y direction;
- b) the sensor having at least one light emitting diode for illuminating the head of the user in a uniform manner, whereby the sensor receives reflected light from the head of the user;
- c) the evaluating unit calculating data received by the sensor unit and transmitting a control signal to the at least one drive unit;
- d) the at least one drive unit containing means for driving the unit so that at least one physical characteristic of the microscope is adjusted.
