Patent ID: 8054543

Claim:
A microscope system for imaging of an object that can be placed in an object plane of a microscope system, the microscope system comprising: an imaging system having several optical elements for providing at least one optical imaging path, wherein the several optical elements comprise a plurality of optical lenses through which the at least one optical imaging path passes in sequence and which image the object plane into an intermediate image, wherein the optical lenses are configured in such a way that the representation of the object plane is imaged into the intermediate image demagnified to a maximum of 0.9 times, wherein the several optical elements of the imaging system provide at least a pair of optical imaging paths that include a first stereoscopic angle in the object plane, wherein the optical imaging paths include a second stereoscopic angle in the intermediate image, and wherein a ratio of the first stereoscopic angle in the object plane to the second stereoscopic angle in the intermediate image is smaller than 0.9.
