Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0231572A2] The invention relates to a microscope comprising multifunctional control elements for operating a plurality of electrically controlled microscope components such as lens turrets, filter turrets, diaphragms, focal points, illumination devices, etc. As the number of microscope functions to be controlled far exceeds the number of control elements to be ergonomically operated, each control element can be optionally associated with one of the available microscope functions. Furthermore, functions of externally connected appliances, such as cameras or manipulators, can also be associated with the control elements of the microscope.
