Abstract: An optical instrument, in particular an endoscope, has a shaft and an inter-changeable head. The interchangeable head is detachably connected to the distal end of the shaft at a coupling point. The instrument also has a first transmission system for distal transmission of illuminating power, and a second transmission system for proximal transmission of image information, the first transmission system and the second transmission system passing through the coupling point. The interchangeable head and/or the coupling point are/is designed in such a way that upon loosening of the interchangeable head image information of perceptively modified quality is transmitted by the second transmission system.

Abstract: A method and device for autofocusing in a microscope (11), wherein two preferably spot-shaped, markers (12) are generated on an object, the spacing (d) of the markers representing an indication of the defocusing of a working plane (9) in the object from the focal plane (10) of the microscope (11). A focus drive (6) displaces the working plane (9) into the focal plane (10) as a function of the marker spacing (d). In order to allow rapid and exact focusing to be performed, a detector (4) acquires an image of the markers (12) generated on the object, an evaluation unit (7a) determines the spacing of the markers (12), and a control unit (7b) adjusts, as a function of the determined marker spacing (d), the speed of the focus drive (6) at which the working plane (9) is displaced into the focal plane (10).
