Abstract: The application describes a holder for attaching a component with outside dovetail carriages to a bearing surface. A pin-like bolt and, next to it, a ssion spring, which is bent away from the bolt under preloading, are attached in front of the bearing surface as interacting holder components. The cross sections, the lengths and the distance between the bolt and the compression spring are adapted to the inner profile of the dovetail carriage. To attach the component, the dovetail carriage is pressed manually by means of the bolt and the compression spring, until it comes into contact with the bearing surface, and is latched in place. The bolt and the compression spring are pressed into the inner sides of the dovetail carriage on both sides by the preloading of the bent compression spring. Advantageously, the compression spring is additionally preloaded toward the bearing surface. The holder offers precise, tilt-resistant attachment of the component in any three-dimensional position while requiring very little space. Multiple holders having a plurality of holders on a displaceable longitudinal slide or a rotable cylinder are suitable for attaching a plurality of fluorescence filter blocks for optional use in a fluorescence microscope.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing excessive closure between a retractable tip objective and the stage of a microscope which includes positioning a sensor in the turret of a microscope, which sensor is capable of detecting excessive retracting of the retractable tip into the body of the objective, and providing a controller for monitoring the sensor for such excessive retracting and issuing an alert in response to the detection of an event of such excessive retracting. The alert may be made by way of an audio output, or by a visual cue or both. Extinguishing the lamp of the microscope is a preferred visual cue, as the excessive retracting of the retractable tip is generally caused by a focusing error, and the extinguishing of the light source reduces or eliminates the ability of the user of the microscope to focus the microscope, thus attracting his or her attention.

Abstract: An objective lens switching device of the present invention is a device in which assembly and adjustment in order to correctly position each objective lens on an optical axis are easy and a switching action can quickly be performed with certainty without receiving an influence of a mounting condition of objective lenses or a change in the revolver over time in use. A CPU reads an angular displacement from an angle sensor from a revolution position of a turret outside a detection range of an engagement sensor and issues a command of start braking to a driver when the angular displacement reaches a predetermined given angle. A revolution position of the turret at which the CPU starts the braking is correctly set all the time since the detection range of the engagement sensor and an engagement position of the turret are correctly adjusted.

Abstract: Apparatus for supporting a microscope objective and aligning the optical axis of such an objective with the optical axis of the microscope. The apparatus includes a rotatable plural objective nosepiece shell provided with a plurality of through openings. All but one of these openings receives an objective supporting and aligning cell which, in turn, supports the individual microscope objectives. Each cell and the corresponding through opening provided in the nosepiece shell are provided with cooperating surfaces which, in conjunction with a locking ring and a washer formed, preferably, of material exhibiting cold flow characteristics, axially position such cell relative to the nosepiece shell. The washer formed of material exhibiting cold flow characteristics is supported between the locking ring and a flange surface provided on the through opening to prevent shifting of the cell in the axial direction. Cooperating means provided on both the cell and the nosepiece shell align the optical axis of the objective with the optical axis of the microscope.
