PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an objective mirror replacing device capable of replacing an objective mirror simply as much as possible, and at the same time, bringing a free space which is large as much as possible in the periphery of the objective mirror and an inspection sample placed on an operation position, and to provide a microscope including the objective mirror replacing device.SOLUTION: In the objective mirror replacing device including a replacing machine for at least two objective mirrors, each one objective mirror can be transferred from a waiting position to the operation position, and an objective mirror placed on the operation position defines an optical axis. In the device and the microscope including the device, the replacing machine has a movable objective mirror holder for transferring an objective mirror from each waiting position assigned to the objective mirror to the operation position along a displacement passage which is different from that of the other objective mirror, relative to each objective mirror, and each displacement passage is oriented substantially vertically to the optical axis at least in a first domain.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a comparing optical system which is user-friendly constituted and which sends out reproducible result. SOLUTION: The comparing optical system 1 is constituted of a first macroscope 2a and a second macroscope 2b which are connected with each other via a bridge 3. A first XYZ table 8a is assigned to the first macroscope 2a and a second XYZ table 8b is assigned to the second macroscope 2b. A control/regulating device 14 is provided between the first XYZ table 8a and the second XYZ table 8b. Further the system 1 can move the electrically movable XYZ tables 8a, 8b in all of three spacial directions by synchronizing the tables and can also adjust and change various kinds of functions.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ergonomic microscope stages capable of reducing frequency of cleaning and maintenance works for the stages by effectively shielding virtually all stage components from dust, debris, specimen residues, and others. SOLUTION: The microscope stages are shielded from dust and debris by placing all or virtually all stage components below the stage floor. The shielded stages comprise a stage having a top side and a bottom side, an opening in the stage floor in the form of a linear slot, a carriage positioned adjacent to the slot for movement in a direction generally parallel with the slot, drive means for the carriage and stage, specimen retaining means on the top side of the stage, and means for affixing the specimen retaining means to the carriage through the opening in the stage floor. The microscope stages may also have more ergonomic structural features with rounded rims and corners for greater user comfort. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve the problem that operations are made difficult because control mechanisms of x-y directions of a microscope stage are placed in inconvenient locations conventionally. SOLUTION: A microscope has a moveable sample holder forming a part of a stage assembly. The stage assembly includes at least one x-y control for moving the stage assembly or a portion thereof, for example, a sample holder in a horizontal x direction (the x direction is parallel to shoulders of an operating microscopist sitting square to the microscope) and for moving the stage assembly or a portion thereof in a horizontal y direction perpendicular to the x direction. The microscope has dual controls for moving the stage or a portion thereof in a z direction which is perpendicular to the x-y directions and is parallel to an optical path into an objective lens of the microscope. The x-y control and z controls are located so as to permit single hand operation of both controls with minimal hand movement or so as to permit comfortable ergonomic dual hand operation while permitting the shoulders of the operating microscopist to remain aligned in parallel to the x direction.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microscope which is based upon human engineering and never fatigues an operator in focusing. SOLUTION: The microscope 1 is equipped with a microscope stand 2, a microscope stage 6, at least one objective 4 which prescribed an optical axis 5 with an operation position, and a focusing unit 20 having at least one operating element 8 provided to the microscope stand 2. Relative movement between the objective 4 and microscope stage 6 in the direction of the optical axis 5 is generated by at least the one operating element 8 which is fitted to a 1st axis 26 of the focusing unit 20. The focusing unit 20 can be displaced in position in the microscope stand 2 so that the spatial arrangement of at least the one operating element 8 on side walls 2a and 2b of the microscope stand can be adjusted.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a human engineering microscope and a microscope stand. SOLUTION: The human engineering microscope (1) and the microscope stand (2) are disclosed. The microscope is equipped with a stand (3) having a stand base (3a) demarcating an outside contour (3b). The microscope (1) is installed on the stand (2). The stand (2) is equipped with a main body (4) and right and left hand rests (6). The right and left hand rests (6) are attached to the main body (4) so that they may freely pivotally rotate independently each other. The height of the stand (2) is adjusted, consequently the hand rest (6) is rotated while its front edge (6a) is placed on the surface of a bench (50) regardless of the adjustment of the height.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a microscope (2) consisting of a first housing shell and a second housing shell (16 and 18). The first and second housing shells (16 and 18) define a base part (20) on which the stand rests (4). The stand (4) is c-shaped and a stand base cover (22) closes the stand (4) in an outer direction. At least one connecting means (34) is provided for the first and second housing shell (16 and 18). The connecting means (34) is not accessible from outside the stand when the stand base cover (22) is put into place.
