Abstract
A microscope stand (11) is disclosed, including at least one pivot support (12), a mount (22) attached to a first end (15) of the pivot support (12), and a C-slide displacement assembly (112). The pivot support (12) is held to a stand interface (14) by a parallel guide mechanism (116), which allows the pivot support (12) to perform a circular motion in a vertical plane. The parallel guide mechanism (116) is formed by a cross-lever linkage which is rotatable about a cross-lever axis (115) extending centrally between and parallel to the support axis (113) of the pivot support (12) and the pivot axis (114) of the C-slide displacement assembly (112) and which is connected to both the stand interface (14) and the pivot support (12) in such a way that it transmits its own pivotal state simultaneously and equally to the stand interface (14) and to the pivot support (12).
