Abstract

Disclosed is a manually actuated control unit for a microscope, comprising at least one control element, especially a control wheel (50, 51, 54), a control key (52a to 52h), and/or a control ball (63), via which a microcontroller of the control unit can be impinged upon by control commands in order to trigger or control a number of functional units of the microscope. A storage device that is assigned to the microcontroller is provided with a first storage area encompassing a custom boot loader, by means of which a software, particularly a software defining a function of the at least one control element, can be loaded into another storage area of the storage unit.
