Abstract

A stereomicroscope includes a stereoscopic main observer beam path having a main observer zoom system, a stereoscopic co-observer beam path having a co-observer zoom system, and a main objective common to the main observer beam path and the co-observer beam path. The co-observer beam path is coupled out from the main observer beam path via a geometrical beam splitter arranged between the main objective and the main observer zoom system, wherein in the co-observer beam path the co-observer zoom system succeeds the geometrical beam splitter and is constructed from lenses having dimensions such that both a first and a second stereoscopic partial beam of the co-observer beam path in each case pass through the lenses.
