Definitions

  • Fig. 1 the beam path of an inverted microscope is shown schematically.
  • a HAL halogen lamp on the MS microscope stand illuminates via a condenser
  • a nosepiece OR shown here without the objectives to be used, and a reflector RF, which is part of a reflector turret RR (not shown here), for activating a reflection
  • Fluorescence excitation beam path FS of a light source LF Fluorescence excitation beam path FS of a light source LF.
  • the imaging beam path AS is directed via a deflection mirror US
  • Eyepiece OK (not shown) deflected the viewer.
  • a recording beam path AZ is also provided for photographic recordings.
  • FIG. 2 shows an oblique view of the lighting device BLG with a condenser turret KR connected downstream.
  • Reflector turret RR which is equipped with fluorescent dividers, for example.
  • the light from an excitation light source LF for fluorescent light strikes the divider turret from the lateral direction.
  • a display device DS preferably an LCD display.
  • Binocular insight gives an immediate overview of various set positions such as lamp brightness, lamp voltage, lens type, lighting mode,
  • the display DS can advantageously be switched off in order to exclude its influence of light during viewing through the binocular view. Furthermore, it can advantageously be removable and have a cable connection or wireless connection to the control computer of the microscope, as a result of which the viewer can place it next to him, for example, if he wants to make recordings, for example about recording conditions.
  • the DS display serves, among other things, to display the current position of the nosepiece as well as the associated lens name (will be saved beforehand), the state of illumination (reflected light / transmitted light), the lamp brightness, preferably by means of increasing and decreasing line bars and / or voltage display.
  • magnification and the type of contrasting are set for each turret position (for example via a continuous list of all possible combinations).
  • Contrast method (bright field, dark field, phase contrast, DIC) can be set by simply changing the position of the reflector turret.
  • the microscope according to the invention has the following features:
  • At least one imaging and at least one illumination beam path which is designed as a fluorescence and / or transmitted light beam path
  • At least one objective which can preferably be brought into the beam path in an electrically controlled manner
  • switchable microscope components influencing these beam paths, such as condenser, condenser turret, reflector turret, diaphragms and controls for illumination, at least some of these microscope components being electrically controllable and / or the switching states of these components being electrically detectable,
  • control unit which is connected to the electrically controllable or detectable components and which has a memory for the switching states of these microscope components
  • the second microscope component assigned to it is switched in accordance with a switching state of the second microscope component stored in relation to the current switching state of the first microscope component.
  • one of the first components is the reflector reviver and this first component is assigned at least one component for switching the lighting as a second component, this component for switching the lighting switching the incident light beam path.
  • a component for switching the lighting can be assigned to the reflector turret, which switches the transmitted light beam path.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results from the fact that one of the first components is the reflector turret and that a condenser turret is assigned as the second component to this first component, wherein the condenser turret can be switched between different contrast methods (e.g. phase contrast, DIC, bright field, dark field, etc.).
  • different contrast methods e.g. phase contrast, DIC, bright field, dark field, etc.
  • one of the first components is the condenser turret and if a component for lighting adjustment is assigned to this first component.
  • This component for setting the lighting can comprise a regulation for a lamp serving for lighting and / or adjustable neutral filters in the lighting beam path.
  • a component for controlling an aperture diaphragm can also be assigned to the first component, the condenser turret
  • Another advantageous implementation of the invention consists in that one of the first components is a shutter for the fluorescent beam path, and that a component for switching the transmitted light illumination is assigned to these first components.
  • the closure for the fluorescent beam path can also be assigned a component for switching a condenser front lens and / or a component for controlling an aperture diaphragm
  • the light source and / or illumination optics can also be automatically switched over to pre-stored values and / or positions.
  • a control unit ST is electrical via a control bus SB with the microscope components condenser turret KR, objective turret OR, reflector turret RR, turret for neutral glass filter ND, incident light illumination HAL, fluorescent illumination LF, closure for the fluorescent illumination SF, a device for on - and pivoting the condenser front lens KF, aperture diaphragm AP and a control panel BF connected.
  • the control unit ST has a memory SP in which the control unit Store switching states of these microscope components and read them out again.
  • the method described above can be carried out in a simple manner, in which the contrast method and the contrast method can be changed simply by changing the position of the reflector turret Lamp brightness is set.
  • the condenser turret KR (as the primary component) is assigned the lamp brightness, controlled by the second, secondary components, lamp voltage and / or neutral glass filter turret ND.
  • the aperture diaphragm AP can also be assigned to the condenser turret KR as a secondary component. If the KR condenser turret is actuated to e.g. to switch to the contrast type DIC, the control unit sets the values for the lamp brightness and the aperture stop position previously stored by the user for this contrast type. Saving takes place when setting up the microscope by pressing the appropriate buttons on the control panel BF.
  • Another solution is to define a shutter for the fluorescent excitation beam path FS as the primary component and this as secondary components, a device for switching the halogen lamp HAL on and off, a device for pivoting a front condenser lens KF in front of the condenser and / or the aperture diaphragm Assign AP.
  • the shutter for the fluorescence excitation radiation path FS is actuated, the halogen lamp HAL, the condenser front lens KF and the aperture diaphragm AP are then automatically brought into the previously stored positions assigned to the position of the shutter.
  • an additional pressing of the control button can be provided.
  • the quick adjustment stops at a standby value and an acoustic signal sounds.
  • the lamp brightness set last is saved for each individual lens position and automatically restored when the lens is changed.
  • the lamp voltage is automatically reduced to prevent glare and to achieve a faster settling of the brightness
  • the invention is not tied to the exemplary embodiment shown, in particular it can also be used with upright microscopes. Furthermore, it is also possible to implement assignments of primary and secondary microscope components other than those listed here.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système permettant de piloter et/ou d'afficher les fonctions d'un microscope, de préférence d'un microscope inversé. Un élément d'affichage est disposé à hauteur des yeux ou à proximité de la hauteur des yeux d'un utilisateur et peut être enlevé avantageusement. Les fonctions du microscope peuvent être réglées et/ou mémorisées par l'intermédiaire de l'écran. Selon un procédé de commande de fonctions de microscope, il intervient une commutation automatique de la source lumineuse et/ou de l'unité optique d'éclairage dans des valeurs et/ou des positions préenregistrées lors d'une commutation d'une tourelle porte-réflecteurs.
