The present invention relates to a microscope (1). The microscope (1) comprises a microscope stand (3) and a component (8) arranged movably relative to the microscope stand (3). The microscope stand (3) and the movably arranged component (8) each comprise a surface (11, 10). A gap (9) that can be encroached into from outside is defined by the mutually facing surfaces (11, 10) of the microscope stand (3) and of the movably arranged component (8). The gap (9) changes as a function of the movement of the component (8). The pinching protection apparatus is intended in particular to be of economical configuration and/or to enable a modular microscope concept.
