<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operating microscope that can assuredly protect a microscope section when the microscope section is stored. <P>SOLUTION: An operating microscope 10 comprises a microscope section 16 that can observe a surgical site and a microscope supporting structure 14 that supports the microscope section 16 to make it move three-dimensionally. The supporting structure 14 has a moving area during use for moving the microscope section 16 when the surgical site is being observed and a moving area during storage that is a different area from the moving area during use and where the microscope section 16 can move when stored. The supporting structure 14 has a protection covers 38a and 38b for protecting the microscope section 16 when the supporting structure 14 is at the distal end position of the moving area during storage against the moving area during use. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
