Abstract:
A surgical microscope, in particular an ophthalmic surgical microscope, includes a microscope imaging optical unit for imaging an object to be observed in an image plane along an optical imaging beam path, which passes through the microscope imaging optical unit, and a camera, which captures imaging of the object in the image plane. Further, the surgical microscope includes an optical wavefront encoding element that is positioned or positionable in the optical imaging beam path to influence an imaging light wavefront in the optical imaging beam path in such a way that a depth of field of the imaging of the object through the microscope imaging optical unit with the wavefront encoding element is reduced in relation to the depth of field of the imaging of the object through the microscope imaging optical unit without the wavefront encoding element.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for measuring an object with a surgical microscope, the method comprising:\n providing a surgical microscope including:\n a microscope imaging optical unit configured to image an object to be examined in an image plane along an optical imaging beam path passing through the microscope imaging optical unit; \n a camera configured to capture an image of the object in the image plane; \n an optical wavefront encoding element that is positioned or positionable in the optical imaging beam path; \n a computer unit configured to calculate an image with a reduced depth of field for further processing from an image of the object with the reduced depth of field captured by the camera; and \n an autofocus system configured to receive date from the computer unit to automatically focus the image with the reduced depth of field; \n arranging an object to be examined on an object side of the microscope imaging optical unit; positioning the optical wavefront encoding element in the optical imaging beam path; imaging the object to be examined in the image plane; capturing an image with a reduced depth of field of the object to be examined with the camera for further processing; and automatically focusing the image with the reduced depth of field of the object to be examined.
