Microscope, particularly a stereomicroscope, for simultaneous observation
by a first and a second observer, comprising a main objective (2) defining
an optical axis (2a) and an optical beam path (17) following
a direction of the optical axis (2a); a magnification system (12,
13) mounted after the main objective (2); a beam splitter device (5)
mounted after the main objective (2) for deflecting a first partial optical
beam path (17a) into a first plane (I) of the microscope, and for
transmitting a second partial optical beam path (17b) in the direction
of the optical axis (2a); a plurality of deflector elements (6a,
6b) for deflecting the first partial optical beam path (17a)
out of the first plane (I) and into a second plane (II) of the microscope extending
substantially parallel to the first plane (I); and a further deflector element
(6c) for deflecting the second partial optical beam path (17b)
into a third plane (III) of the microscope extending substantially parallel to
the first and second planes (I, II) and located above the first and second planes
(I, II).
