MICROSCOPE BODY OR STAND WITH A DEVICE FOR CHANGING AN OBJECTIVE, IN PARTICULAR FOR MICROSCOPE OBJECTIVES IN FIXED STAGE MICROSCOPES

摘要

Described is a device for changing an objective, in particular for microscope objectives, comprising a holder (3) which is arranged at the microscope body (1) or microscope stand. The holder (3) carries a revolver arrangement (4) for placing objectives (5; 6) to be changed into a work position in the optical axis (2) of the beam path of the microscope. The revolver arrangement (4) comprises a lockable revolver body (9) which is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation (8) which is parallel to the optical axis (2) of the beam path or extends at an angle and in which at least two objective receptacles (10; 11) are arranged which are mounted such that they can move in the direction of the optical axis (2) and in which the objectives (5; 6) to be changed are inserted. Provision is made for actuating means (12 to 15) which can be used to move an objective receptacle (10 or 11) substantially in the direction of the optical axis (2) after said objective receptacle (10 or 11), which carries an objective (5 or 6), has been positioned in the optical axis (2) of the beam path.
