Summary:The invention relates to an optical observation instrument, for example a (stereo) operation microscope, having an additional shutter ( 4 ) in a main beam path ( 2 b ), arranged between an output-reflection beam splitter ( 3 ) and an observer eyepiece ( 5 ), for respectively connecting and disconnecting the observer ( 8 a ), without affecting the output-reflected signal. As a special refinement, a special shutter design is described, which makes it possible to respectively connect and disconnect the two main beam paths ( 2 a, 2 b ) and involves an override function (quick reset) for opening both beam paths.
