Patent ID: 7057807

Claim:
A microscope for simultaneous observation of an object by a first and a second observer, the microscope comprising: a main objective having an optical axis; an optical viewing path; a plurality of deflector elements for deflecting the optical viewing path into a first plane (I) extending at an angle to the optical axis of the main objective and subsequently into a second plane (II) substantially parallel to and above the first plane (I); an uncoupling device in the optical viewing path for uncoupling an optical viewing path of the second observer from an optical viewing path of the first observer; a deflector element for deflecting the optical viewing path of the second observer into a third plane (III) which extends substantially parallel to the first and second planes (I, II), the second plane (II) being located between the first plane (I) and the third plane (III); and a magnification system in the second plane (II) for the first observer, and another magnification system in the third plane (III) for the second observer.
