Abstract

An optical system with variable image scale for video recordings by means of a CCD camera at a microscope. A video zoom adapting arrangement with a short overall length which enables all image scales for video cameras required in practice is realized in that three optical components with a positive focal length are provided. One optical component is stationary and a second and third optical component are arranged after the first optical component, as viewed in the imaging direction, so as to be displaceable.
