Abstract:
1. Stereo microscope comprising: a first and a second main beam path for a main observer, the spacing of which defining a stereo base, wherein an axis of the microscope extends through the middle of the stereo base parallel to the main beam paths, an optical beam splitter device configured to produce an assistant beam path and a documentation beam path, wherein a direction of the assistant beam path in a first position is rotated by 180° to a direction of the assistant beam path in a second position of the beam splitter device and the documentation beam path, which is decoupled, in both positions of the beam splitter device is in each case perpendicular to the assistant beam path, which is decoupled, wherein in both the first and second positions of the beam splitter device the assistant beam path can in each case be decoupled from at least the first main beam path, wherein the assistant beam path is decoupled from the same, first main beam path in both the first and second positions of the beam splitter device, and wherein the documentation beam path is in each case decoupled from at least the second main beam path, wherein a fixed connection for a documentation module is mounted on a microscope housing, the documentation beam path being fixed in a direction from the optical beam splitter device to the fixed connection, the fixed connection being fixed relative to the axis of the microscope.
