ABSTRACT:
The universal microscope drape is based on a positioning system that includes a different adapter member for each differently manufactured microscope and a universal positioning member of a microscope drape that engages each different adapter member. The microscope drape positioning member is attached to the microscope drape cover member to position the microscope drape cover member in a predetermined orientation on the microscope. The adapter member is interchangeable with a lens unit that is detachably secured to a microscope. The lens unit, upon removal, is joined to the adapter member to permit resecurement of the lens unit to the microscope when the adapter member is joined to the microscope. Since the adapter member has a universal engagement portion that is engagable with the universal positioning member of the microscope drape, the same microscope drape can be used to cover differently manufactured microscopes of the same general size and shape.
