ABSTRACT:
A microscope tube having several sections articulated with respect to each other. A first stationary section (1) is hinged to a second section (2) which can swing upwardly and downwardly, and this is hinged to a third section (3) which hangs downwardly from the second section, the free lower end of the third section being swingable horizontally toward and away from the observer or user of the microscope. The third section has a fourth section (4) hinged to it to tilt on a horizontal axis, and this fourth section carries the eyepiece of the microscope. With this arrangement, the eyepiece may be adjusted to various positions vertically and horizontally to suit the comfort of the observer, and may be tilted to various viewing angles quite independently of its vertical or horizontal position. Mirrors within the tube at the hinge joints direct the optical beam properly from one section into the next section, and these mirrors turn through half the angle of swing when one section swings relative to the next. An additional optical system within the tube forms an intermediate image, and the observer sees the object in proper erect position in proper side-to-side relationship, rather than reversed. Provision is made for attachment of a camera or other desired auxiliary apparatus.
