ABSTRACT:
A stereoscopic microscope system having a primary and secondary viewing station which are rotatably positionable relative to one another for simultaneously viewing an object is disclosed. An objective lens focuses a plurality of rays of light aligned with a primary optic axis upon an object to be viewed. The light deflecting mechanism redirects a pair of rays of light from the objective lens orthogonally to form a diagonal optic axis spaced transversely from the primary optic axis. Both the primary and orthogonal optic axes extend perpendicular to an intersect a transverse optic axis extending therebetween. A second light deflecting mechanism redirects a pair of light rays in the orthogonal optic axis along a secondary viewing station optic axis spaced from and parallel to the transverse optic axis to be viewed by a secondary observer. A mechanism for stretching or compressing a passive light in the orthogonal axis as a secondary viewing station is rotated is provided. A mechanism for rotating the images of the object viewed at the secondary viewing station automatically compensates for image rotation which occurs when the primary viewing station is rotated relative to the secondary viewing station.
