Slider for Introduction into an Optical Path of a Light Microscope

摘要

The invention relates to a slider for introduction into an optical path of a light microscope. Such a slider has a housing for arrangement on the light microscope, a holder which can be displaced in the housing in a displacement direction over a displacement length, an optical element which is held by the holder oriented with respect to an optical axis extending perpendicular to the displacement direction, and movement means for displacing the holder. The slider is characterised according to the invention in that at least the portion of the movement means which lies in the displacement direction within the displacement length lies, in a direction perpendicular to a plane fixed by the optical axis and the displacement direction, completely within a coverage area which is covered by the holder upon displacement thereof, wherein the coverage area is fixed by the optical axis as normal.
