Microscope optical system with a stationary sample stage and stationary viewing ports suited for viewing various fields of view of a sample
First Claim
1. A microscope optical system for viewing a stationary sample comprising:
- (a) microscope optics, including a viewing point, configured to view an image of the stationary sample; and
(b) first intermediate optics positioned between the stationary sample and said microscope optics and configured to be repositioned to view multiple fields of view on the sample while the stationary sample and said microscope optics are stationary.

Abstract
A microscope optical system structure in which both a sample and the viewing optics can be maintained stationary, while at the same time different points or fields of view of the sample can be examined. In the microscope optical system structure a sample is provided, e.g. on a stage, to be maintained in a stationary position when the sample is viewed. Further, viewing optics of the microscope optical system can be maintained in a stationary position when the sample is viewed. Intermediate optics between the stage and the viewing optics are movable so that different portions of the sample can be examined without having to move the sample and without having to move the viewing optics.
