ABSTRACT:
An indexable microscope is described, that comprises a microscope stand and an optical beam path, having a plurality of optical components that are switchable into and out of the beam path, which are arranged on at least two independent mechanical assemblies to be indexed separately and are switchable selectably into and out of the beam path by indexing the respective assembly. According to the present invention, a space-saving and flexible arrangement of the separately indexable assemblies having the optical components is achieved in that a common central receiving plate is provided, on the upper side and the lower side of which at least one of the assemblies is respectively arranged. Configuration of the assemblies as rotary disks permits very flexible arrangements which allow both manual and motorized actuation of the indexing of the assemblies.
