Abstract
The present invention relates to a microscope stand (11), in particular a stand for a surgical microscope, including a pivot support (12) and a mount (22) for mounting the microscope (16) to the microscope stand (11). The mount (22) is supported about a first axis of rotation (23) so that it is rotatable relative to pivot support (12) and capable of being braked, the mount being connected via braking force transmission means (30) to a brake (26), which defines a second axis of rotation (27) extending parallel to first axis of rotation (23). The braking force transmission means (30) include two transfer levers (31; 36), whose two ends (32, 33; 37, 38) are connected without play to the mount (22) and the brake (26), respectively, by respective pivot points (41, 46, 51, 56), which are radially spaced apart from their respective axes of rotation (23, 27).
