发明名称 Changing apparatus for a microscope
摘要 A changing apparatus for a microscope (10) comprises a carrying body (50, 150, 250, 350) supported rotatably around a rotation axis (R), having a first coupling part (52), and at least one optical element (100, 200, 300, 400) having a second coupling part (102) that is couplable to the first coupling part (52) for releasable mounting of the optical element (100, 200, 300, 400) on the carrying body (50, 150, 250, 350). The first coupling part (52) comprises a first mechanical coding structure (56) and the second coupling part (102) comprises a second mechanical coding structure (104) that, in a predetermined installation alignment toward the first coding structure (56), is complementary thereto and, in that installation alignment, is placeable onto the first coding structure (56) perpendicularly to the rotation axis (R) of the carrying body (50, 150, 250, 350).

主权项 1. A changing apparatus for a microscope, the changing apparatus comprising: a carrying body supported rotatably around a rotation axis, the carrying body having a first coupling part; and at least one optical element having a second coupling part couplable to the first coupling part for releasable mounting of the optical element on the carrying body; wherein the first coupling part comprises a first mechanical coding structure and the second coupling part comprises a second mechanical coding structure; wherein the second coding structure is complementary to the first coding structure and placeable onto the first coding structure perpendicularly to the rotation axis of the carrying body when the second coding structure is in a predetermined installation alignment toward the first coding structure; wherein one of the first and second coding structures comprises a plurality of first elements and the other of the first and second coding structures comprises a plurality of second elements movable perpendicularly to the rotation axis of the carrying body into respective engagement or abutting alignment with the plurality of first elements to thereby define a three-point support for mounting the optical element on the carrying body; wherein the plurality of first elements includes at least one groove, wherein the groove is rectangular or triangular in cross section; wherein the at least one groove comprises a first groove extending parallel to the rotation axis of the carrying body and a second groove extending transversely to the first groove, and wherein the plurality of second elements includes a first projection that engages into the first groove and a second projection that engages into the second groove; and wherein the second groove is interrupted by the first groove, and the second projection is a bar-shaped element that passes through the first projection in a transverse direction.
