摘要:
A novel attachment for a microscope to be coupled to an optical coupling tube of a microscope. The attachment for a microscope includes a light source generating a quasi-collimated light output. Elements are provided for reflecting the light output from the light source towards a specimen in the microscope. Further, elements are provided for propagating a reflection of the light output from the light source from the specimen to a viewing point. The elements for achieving the reflecting and the elements for achieving the propagating may each include a spinning Nipkow disk and a dichroic mirror. The quasi-collimated light output from the light source directly impinges on the Nipkow disk, i.e., without being focused on the Nipkow disk and without passing through a lens. A right angle mirror can also be positioned as one of the elements for achieving the reflecting and the propagating.
摘要:
A microscope optical system in which both a sample and the viewing optics can be maintained stationary, while at the same time different points or fields of view of the sample can be examined. In the microscope optical system a sample is provided, e.g. on a stage, to be maintained in a stationary position when the sample is viewed. Further, viewing optics of the microscope optical system can be maintained in a stationary position when the sample is viewed. Intermediate optics between the stage and the viewing optics are moveable so that different portions of the sample can be examined without having to move the sample and without having to move the viewing optics.
