Abstract
A microscope includes a stand with an upright. A generally L-shaped motion box is movable along the upright. A vertical portion of the motion box surrounds the upright, while its horizontal section provides a support for the microscope optical system. An objective is fixed to the bottom of the support. The top of the support includes a guide for an optical support carrying a binocular tube. The optical support and the binocular tube of the microscope are displaceable or movable relative to the fixed objective. With this microscope, the same point on an object can be observed with the same image quality, despite whether the object point is observed in a stereoscopic, monocular or binocular manner.
