Patent ID: 6972900

Claim:
A microscope for simultaneous observation of an object by a first observer and a second observer, the microscope comprising: a main objective ( 2 ) defining an optical axis ( 2 a ) and an optical beam path ( 17 ) following a direction of the optical axis ( 2 a ); a magnification system ( 12 , 13 ) mounted after the main objective ( 2 ); a beam splitter device ( 5 ) mounted after the main objective ( 2 ) for deflecting a first partial optical beam path ( 17 a ) of the optical beam path ( 17 ) into a first plane (I) of the microscope, and for transmitting a second partial optical beam path ( 17 b ) of the optical beam path ( 17 ) in the direction of the optical axis ( 2 a ); a plurality of deflector elements ( 6 a , 6 b ) for deflecting the first partial optical beam path ( 17 a ) out of the first plane (I) and into a second plane (II) of the microscope extending substantially parallel to the first plane (I); and a further deflector element ( 6 c ) for deflecting the second partial optical beam path ( 17 b ) transmitted by the beam splitter device ( 5 ) into a third plane (III) of the microscope extending substantially parallel to the first and second planes (I, II) and located above the first and second planes (I, II).
