MEDICAL MICROSCOPE AND MICROSCOPE SYSTEM

Abstract

A medical microscope includes an eyepiece system having a binocular establishing a viewing direction into the microscope. A microscope body has an objective lens for capturing light from a field of view and directs the light to the eyepiece system and has a microscope axis extending from the microscope body to the field of view. A suspension secures the microscope to a support system and is designed as part of a ball-and-socket joint system. When the suspension is in a non-locked state, it allows the medical microscope to rotate about a reference point of the suspension. The suspension is positioned with respect to a center of gravity of the microscope such that the microscope body is oriented such that the microscope axis extends in a predefined direction and the viewing direction extends at a predefined angle range relative to a suspension axis extending through the center of gravity and suspension.
