Abstract

See full text

A surgical microscopy system includes a surgical microscope with a control device and with focusable imaging optics for observing an operation field. The microscope is arranged on a stand with a base unit. The stand is embodied with linear drives and/or rotary joints in such a way that the surgical microscope is displaceable along three direction axes and rotatable about three axes of rotation relative to the base unit. For renewed focusing to a desired point, position and/or rotational sensors are assigned to each of the drives and/or joints for each of the direction axes and position and/or rotary angle sensors are assigned to each of the drives and/or joints for each of the axes of rotation and a focusing sensor for a focal point is assigned to the focusing imaging optics. A position and alignment of the microscope relative to the base unit and the focal point are storable.
