Adaptor for microscopes providing an odd number of reflections for providing an even number of reflections in conjunction with additional microscope reflection means
Abstract
Abstract An adaptor for microscopes provided with a first reflecting device reflecting incident light an even number of times to emit the light in a direction making a predetermined angle with the incident light and a second reflecting device capable of rotating around a shaft positioned near a center of gravity so as to be made to rest on two predetermined positions and reflecting once the incident light coming from the first reflecting device to emit the light in either direction of the mount for the TV camera or the mount for the still camera, in order to minimize vibration generated in rapid switchover between the TV camera mode and the still camera mode, bring about an image exhibiting the right side in any use of the TV camera and the still camera, and make it possible to be designed for a small size. The first reflecting device comprises a prism having a pair of opposite reflecting surfaces or a pair of mirrors in which reflecting surfaces are opposite to each other, while said second reflecting device includes a single mirror or a double mirror.
