Patent ID: 7924307

Claim:
A surgical microscope for viewing a region of an object, the surgical microscope defining a beam path and comprising: a viewing unit arranged on said beam path; a reflecting-in display unit having a plurality of controllable display pixels which provide light in different colors in order to generate a display image which is built up from a plurality of image points and is reflected toward said beam path; a superposition unit for superposing said display image onto an image of said region of said object to form a superposed image in said beam path to permit viewing of said superposed image at said viewing unit; a camera unit for receiving said superposed image from said superposition unit; said camera unit including an image sensor having a light sensitivity; each one of said display pixels being adapted to generate a pulse sequence train from a plurality of light pulse sequences having light pulses of different colors; and, said light sensitivity of said image sensor being matched to said pulse sequence train so as to permit said image sensor to detect at least two light pulses of different colors (R, G, B) from said pulse sequence train.
