Abstract[English]
Certain embodiments provide an arm assembly (120) for a wide angle viewing system (100) for an ophthalmic microscope. The arm assembly (120) comprises an articulated arm (130) configured to be coupled to a reduction lens module (110), and a loupe lens turret (140) coupled to the articulated arm (130). The loupe lens turret (140) comprises a body (141) including a first magnet (144), and a base (150) including a second magnet (154). The base (150) is rotationally coupled to the body (141), and configured to receive a removable loupe lens assembly (160, 170). The first magnet (144) and the second magnet (154) are configured to generate a first repulsive magnetic force and a second repulsive magnetic force. The first repulsive magnetic force rotates the base (150) in a first direction and holds the base (150) against the body (141) in a first position. The second repulsive magnetic force rotates the base (150) in a second direction and holds the base (141) against the body in a second position.[French]
Certains modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent un ensemble bras (120) pour un système de visualisation grand angle (100) pour un microscope ophtalmique. L'ensemble bras (120) comprend un bras articulé (130) conçu pour être couplé à un module de lentille de réduction (110), et une tourelle de lentille de loupe (140) couplée au bras articulé (130). La tourelle de lentille de loupe (140) comprend un corps (141) comprenant un premier aimant (144), et une base (150) comprenant un second aimant (154). La base (150) est couplée en rotation au corps (141), et conçue pour recevoir un ensemble lentille de loupe amovible (160, 170). Le premier aimant (144) et le second aimant (154) sont conçus pour générer une première force magnétique de répulsion et une seconde force magnétique de répulsion. La première force magnétique de répulsion fait tourner la base (150) dans une première direction et maintient la base (150) contre le corps (141) dans une première position. La seconde force magnétique de répulsion fait tourner la base (150) dans une seconde direction et maintient la base (141) contre le corps dans une seconde position.
