Stereoscopic electronic microscope workstation
First Claim
1. A stereoscopic microscope workstation for a user to view an object as a stereoscopic magnified image, comprising:
- a stereomicroscope configured to;
(a) acquire a plurality of optical views of the object; and
(b) provide a plurality of optical paths of the plurality of optical views;
at least one high-resolution camera configured to;
(a) acquire the plurality of optical paths from the stereomicroscope;
(b) combine real-time image data acquired from the plurality of optical views into a single data structure, the real-time image data having a resolution of at least 1280×
720 pixels for at least one of the optical views; and
(c) transmit, in real-time, the single data structure;
at least one high-resolution display device configured to;
(a) receive the single data structure; and
(b) display, using the received single data structure, a magnified image of the object to the user, at least one of the at least one high-resolution display device having a resolution of at least 1280×
720 pixels; and
at least one deflecting element disposed between the object and the stereomicroscope, wherein the at least one deflective element provides a change in a location of a viewing point of the object in the magnified image by rotating about an axis.

Abstract
A stereoscopic microscope workstation providing high-resolution, real-time video signals to a display device. A stereoscopic microscope workstation providing high-resolution, real-time data to a display means. Various embodiments are disclosed including desktop and free-standing workstations. An image processing unit can be implemented, providing for natural orientation of the magnified image of the viewed object, also allowing rotation, cropping, filtering and other image manipulation features. Methods of performing a procedure utilizing the stereoscopic microscope workstation are disclosed, including a method of performing a procedure of simultaneously utilizing both foveal vision and peripheral vision.
