ABSTRACT:
A connectible locking mechanism sets defined magnifications in a continuously operating zoom system of a microscope. The mechanism has a drive unit for setting the zoom, a locking disk fixedly connected to and provided axially on a drive shaft of the drive unit and a disk-shaped locking spring arranged fixedly to an instrument of the microscope. The locking disk has defined grooves arranged side by side. Arranged between the locking spring and the locking disk is a ball and a locking slider which is provided with a recess. The ball is positioned in the recess of the locking slider and is movable into and out of engagement with the grooves of the locking disk through a sliding motion of the locking slider.
