Abstract

A drape (101) for a surgical microscope (100) is attached to the surgical microscope (100) with a holding device (103) in the region of the surgical microscope main objective (104). The holding device (103) can accommodate a cover element (105). A tongue-shaped section is provided on the holding device (103) which applies a spring force to an outer peripheral surface of the surgical microscope main objective (104) when the holding device is arranged on the surgical microscope main objective (104) so that the holding device is held force-tight and friction-tight on the surgical microscope main objective. The cover element (105) can be inserted laterally into the holding device (103).
