Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microscopes, and in particular to a stereomicroscope. Background Art

[0002] A solid microscope, also known as a stereo microscope, is an advanced visual instrument that uses visible light as its illumination source. Its notable feature is its ability to provide an upright, three-dimensional image of the object being observed, enabling the observer to more intuitively and clearly understand the object's three-dimensional structure. Its operating principle is to initially magnify the object through a precisely designed objective lens system, which is then further magnified through the eyepieces, ultimately presenting the observer with a magnified image that provides depth perception.

[0003] Currently, existing stereo microscopes generally consist of an eyepiece, an interpupillary distance adjustment assembly, an optical hinge assembly, a zoom objective assembly, and a light source assembly, all connected from top to bottom. The sample to be observed is placed below the zoom objective assembly, and the light source assembly surrounds the bottom of the objective assembly to provide illumination for the microscope. The zoom objective assembly includes a zoom component that continuously adjusts the magnification of the object image and presents a stable image at the formed position. The optical hinge assembly connects the interpupillary distance adjustment assembly and the zoom objective assembly. The interpupillary distance adjustment assembly includes a beam splitter prism that splits the object image optical path into two, forming left and right optical paths, respectively, for imaging the two eyepieces.

[0004] However, existing solid microscopes have many components, among which the total length of the prism and the air gap converted into an equivalent air layer thickness exceeds the focal length corresponding to the appropriate magnification range, resulting in the focal length and field of view of the entire machine not meeting customer requirements, resulting in large off-axis vignetting and low image quality.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a stereoscopic microscope, including an eyepiece 100, an interpupillary distance adjustment component 200, an optical hinge group 300, a prism steering group 400, a distributed reflective optical path component and a continuous zoom objective lens group 600; the eyepiece 100 is connected to the interpupillary distance adjustment component 200, the continuous zoom objective lens group 600 is arranged above the observed object, the prism steering group 400 is connected to the continuous zoom objective lens group 600, and the two ends of the optical hinge group 300 are respectively connected to the interpupillary distance adjustment component 200 and the prism steering group 400; the distributed reflective optical path component includes a negative lens group 510, a positive lens 520, a negative lens 530 and a positive lens group 540, the negative lens group 510 is arranged between the prism steering group 400 and the continuous magnification objective lens group 600 to expand the light beam aperture, the positive lens 520 is arranged between the optical hinge group 300 and the prism steering group 400 to shrink the light beam aperture, the optical hinge group 300 is sequentially provided with a first right-angle prism 310, a second right-angle prism 320 and a third right-angle prism 330, the negative lens 530 is arranged between the second right-angle prism 320 and the third right-angle prism 330 in the optical hinge group 300 to expand the light beam aperture, and the positive lens group 540 is arranged between the first right-angle prism 310 and the third right-angle prism 330 to shrink the light beam aperture.

[0049] That is, the solid microscope provided by the embodiment of the present invention sequentially arranges a negative lens group 510, a positive lens 520, a negative lens 530 and a positive lens group 540 between the various components of the solid microscope, thereby combining the mechanical structure spatial layout to adjust the light beam aperture, ensure that the prism does not intercept or intercepts less light beams, and reduce off-axis vignetting, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art that the solid microscope has large off-axis vignetting and poor imaging quality due to the light path passing through multiple groups of prisms, and meets the overall imaging requirements.

[0050] Specifically, the zoom objective lens assembly 600 is positioned above the object being observed. It includes a zoom component capable of continuously adjusting the magnification of the object image and presenting a stable image at the desired position. The top of the zoom objective lens assembly 600 is connected to the prism steering assembly 400, which serves as a pivot between the zoom objective lens assembly 600 and the optical hinge assembly 300. The prism steering assembly 400 includes a beam splitting mechanism that splits the optical path into two via a beam splitting prism 420, sending the beams to the optical hinge assembly 300 and the industrial camera 440, respectively. One end of the optical hinge assembly 300 is connected to the eyepiece 100 and the interpupillary distance adjustment assembly, while the other end is connected to the prism steering assembly 400, thereby changing the viewing angle of the eyepiece 100. The interpupillary distance adjustment assembly 200 includes a beam splitting prism 420 that splits the object image optical path into two, forming left and right optical paths for imaging into the two eyepieces 100, respectively. The distributed reflective optical path assembly includes a negative lens group 510, a positive lens 520, a negative lens 530, and a positive lens group 540. The positive lens 520 is disposed between the optical hinge group 300 and the prism steering group 400 to narrow the beam aperture. The optical hinge group 300 is sequentially provided with a first right-angle prism 310, a second right-angle prism 320, and a third right-angle prism 330. The negative lens 530 is disposed between the second right-angle prism 320 and the third right-angle prism 330 in the optical hinge group 300 to expand the beam aperture. The positive lens group 540 is disposed between the first right-angle prism 310 and the third right-angle prism 330 to narrow the beam aperture.

[0051] Furthermore, the prism steering group 400 includes a beam splitter prism seat 410, a beam splitter prism 420, a camera light path tube 430 and an industrial camera 440; the bottom of the beam splitter prism seat 410 is provided with a first through hole in the vertical direction, the top of the beam splitter prism seat 410 is provided with a second through hole in the vertical direction, the bottom of the beam splitter prism seat 410 is provided with a third through hole in the horizontal direction, the bottom of the beam splitter prism seat 410 is connected to the continuous zoom objective lens group 600, the beam splitter prism 420 is fixed in the beam splitter prism seat 410 to receive the light beam of the continuous zoom objective lens group 600 and split the light beam in the direction of the second through hole and the direction of the third through hole, one end of the camera light path tube 430 is connected to the third through hole of the beam splitter prism 420, and the other end of the camera light path tube 430 is connected to the industrial camera 440, the negative lens group 510 is fixed to the first through hole, and the optical axis of the negative lens group 510 coincides with the light beam.

[0052] Specifically, the beam splitter prism mount 410 is square and hollow. A second circular through hole is provided at the top, thereby communicating with the prism steering assembly 400 and being connected to the prism steering assembly 400 via bolts. A first circular through hole is provided at the bottom, thereby communicating with the zoom objective lens assembly 600 and being connected to the zoom objective lens assembly 600 via bolts. The beam splitter prism mount 410 is provided with a third through hole in the horizontal direction. The imaging optical path tube 430 is arranged toward the third through hole and is connected to the beam splitter prism mount 410 via bolts. The beam splitter prism 420 is fixed within the beam splitter prism mount 410, with its incident surface facing the zoom objective lens assembly 600. The two light outputs are directed toward the prism steering assembly 400 and the imaging optical path tube 430, respectively. In this embodiment, the beam splitter prism mount 410 also includes a type 2 porro prism, which is configured in conjunction with the beam splitter prism 420 to achieve the requirements of inverting the inverted image formed by the objective lens system and splitting the imaging optical path. The camera optical path tube 430 is horizontally arranged on one side of the beam splitter prism seat 410. The beam splitter prism 420 is arranged directly above the continuous zoom objective lens group 600, thereby receiving the object image beam from the continuous zoom objective lens group 600 and splitting it into horizontal and vertical directions, and then transmitting the object image beam to the prism steering group 400 and the camera optical path tube 430. The other end of the camera optical path tube 430 is connected to the industrial camera 440 by bolts. A fixing groove is provided in the first through hole, and the negative lens 530 is installed in the fixing groove, thereby ensuring that the optical axis of the negative lens group 510 coincides with the object image beam emitted by the continuous zoom objective lens group 600. As a result, the beam diameter of the object image beam can also be adjusted by the negative lens group 510 so that it accurately enters the beam splitter prism 420.

[0053] Furthermore, the negative lens group 510 includes a first lens and a second lens that are spaced apart. The focal lengths of the first lens and the second lens are opposite, and the optical axes of the first lens and the second lens coincide with each other.

[0054] Specifically, negative lens assembly 510 includes a first lens and a second lens spaced apart from each other. The first lens is a convex mirror, and the second lens is a concave mirror, with a spacer between them. The first and second lenses have opposite focal lengths and coincident optical axes. This allows the first and second lenses to adjust the refraction of the light beam, thereby changing the aperture and focal length of the object image beam, without changing the direction of the object image.

[0055] Furthermore, the solid microscope also includes a positive lens mounting seat 521; the bottom of the positive lens mounting seat 521 is connected to the dichroic prism seat 410, and the top of the positive lens mounting seat 521 is connected to the optical hinge group 300. The positive lens mounting seat 521 is provided with a mounting hole along the vertical direction, and the positive lens 520 is arranged in the mounting hole, and the mounting hole is coaxially arranged with the first through hole.

[0056] Specifically, the bottom of the positive lens mount 521 is connected to the beam splitter prism mount 410 via bolts, thereby securing the positive lens mount 521 to the beam splitter prism mount 410. Simultaneously, the top of the positive lens mount 521 is bolted to the optical hinge assembly 300. A mounting hole is vertically provided through the positive lens mount 521, and the positive lens 520 is disposed in the mounting hole. The mounting hole is coaxially disposed with the first through hole, thereby enabling the optical axis of the positive lens 520 to coincide with the object image beam emitted by the beam splitter prism 420, thereby ensuring the optical axis coincidence of the positive lens 520. Furthermore, the positive lens 520 is used to adjust the beam aperture of the object image beam so that it accurately enters the beam splitter prism 420.

[0057] Furthermore, the optical hinge assembly 300 is provided with a hinge seat 340, a first rotating body 350, and a second rotating body 360; one side of the first rotating body 350 is rotatably provided on the hinge seat 340 along a first direction, and the other side of the first rotating body 350 is connected to the pupil distance adjustment component 200, and one side of the second rotating body 360 is rotatably provided on the hinge seat 340 along a second direction, and the other side of the second rotating body 360 is connected to the continuous zoom objective lens assembly 600, and the first direction and the second direction are arranged in parallel, and the first rotating body 350 and The second rotating body 360 is in transmission connection, a first right-angle prism 310 is provided in the first rotating body 350, a second right-angle prism 320 is provided in the second rotating body 360, a third right-angle prism 330 is provided in the hinge seat 340, the second right-angle prism 320 is configured to reflect the object image of the continuous zoom objective lens group 600 to the third right-angle prism 330, the third right-angle prism 330 is configured to reflect the object image to the first right-angle prism 310, and the first right-angle prism 310 is configured to reflect the object image toward the pupil distance adjustment component 200.

[0058] Specifically, the hinge base 340 is configured as a hollow square box with openings at both ends. One side of the first rotating body 350 is rotatably mounted on the hinge base 340 along a first direction, and one side of the second rotating body 360 is rotatably mounted on the hinge base 340 along a second direction. In this embodiment, the first and second directions are horizontal directions at different heights, and the first and second directions are arranged in parallel. The hinge base 340 extends from the other side of the first rotating body 350 and is bolted to the pupil distance adjustment assembly 200. The hinge base 340 extends from the other side of the second rotating body 360 and is bolted to the continuous magnification objective lens assembly 600. In this way, the angle between the first rotating body 350 and the second rotating body 360 can be adjusted by rotating the first rotating body 350 or the second rotating body 360. A first right-angle prism 310 is disposed within the first rotating body 350. The incident optical axis of the first right-angle prism 310 coincides with the central axis of rotation of the first rotating body 350, and the light-emitting optical axis of the first right-angle prism 310 is arranged perpendicular to the first direction, thereby transmitting the optical path of the object image to the pupil distance adjustment assembly 200 connected to the first rotating body 350. A second right-angle prism 320 is disposed within the second rotating body 360. The light-emitting optical axis of the second right-angle prism 320 coincides with the central axis of rotation of the second rotating body 360, and the incident optical axis of the second right-angle prism 320 is arranged perpendicular to the second direction, thereby receiving the object image light beam emitted by the continuous zoom objective lens. A third right-angle prism 330 is fixed to the hinge base 340 and is disposed on one side of the first rotating body 350 and the second rotating body 360. The incident optical axis of the third right-angle prism 330 coincides with the light-emitting optical axis of the second right-angle prism 320, and the light-emitting optical axis coincides with the incident optical axis of the first right-angle prism 310. Thus, when the first rotating body 350 and the second rotating body 360 rotate, the first right-angle prism 310 and the second right-angle prism 320 will also rotate accordingly, but the light exiting path and the incident light path of the two do not move, that is, the change of the observation angle is achieved. The negative lens 530 is arranged between the second right-angle prism 320 and the third right-angle prism 330, providing a negative focal length, which can diffuse the aperture of the object image beam reflected by the second right-angle prism 320, so that it can adapt to the third right-angle prism 330. The positive lens group 540 includes a negative lens 530 and a positive lens 520, with a positive combined focal length, which can shrink the aperture of the objective lens light speed reflected by the third right-angle prism 330, so that it can adapt to the first right-angle prism 310. The negative lens 530 and the positive lens group 540 cooperate with each other to adjust the beam aperture, thereby adapting to the prism model, reducing off-axis vignetting, and improving imaging quality.

[0059] Furthermore, the camera optical path tube 430 is hollow, and a lens group 431 is provided inside the camera optical path tube 430; the lens group 431 is configured to be able to adjust the focal length and beam aperture of the object image light beam, and the lens group 431 cooperates with the negative lens group 510 and the positive lens 520 to form a camera optical path reverse camera optical path component.

[0060] Specifically, the camera optical path tube 430 is hollow and cylindrical, and the lens group is arranged in the camera optical path tube 430 along the optical path. The lens group 431 can be set to a positive lens group 540 or a negative lens group 510 according to the actual needs of the industrial camera 440, thereby converging the beam aperture or expanding the beam aperture, and adjusting the focal length of the object image at the same time.

[0061] Furthermore, a lens barrel 432 is further provided in the imaging optical path barrel 430 .
