    An operating microscope is an optical microscope designed for surgery that provides magnification and stereoscopic vision. It is used in microsurgery fields like plastic surgery, dentistry, ENT, ophthalmology, and neurosurgery. The operating microscope has variable magnification lenses, fiber-optic light sources, and binocular eyepieces that allow surgeons to see 3D stereoscopic views of the surgical field. Operating microscopes can be floor or ceiling mounted.

    OPERATING MICROSCOPE

    Ms.Oinam Robita Chanu 1


    Operating Microscope
    • An operating microscope is an optical microscope specifically
    designed to be used in a surgical setting, typically to perform
    microsurgery
    • Fields of medicine that make significant use of the operating
    microscope include Plastic Surgery, dentistry (especially endodontics),
    ENT surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and neurosurgery
    • Two essentials of the operating microscope
    Magnification
    Stereopsis

    Ms.Oinam Robita Chanu 2


    Cont.
    • Magnification is the ability to produce enlarged images of object
    • Stereopsis vision where in two separate images from two eyes are
    successfully combined in to one image in the brain. Also called as 3-
    dimensional perception

    Components Of an Operating Microscope
    1. Main Objective Lens
    Variable focal length ranging from 200-500 mm depending upon the
    depth of operative field allowing the microscope to be adjusted at
    different distances
    Greater focal length required for operating in depth
    2. Magnification Changer
    It is a lens system placed between the objective and the binocular
    system comprising microprocessor controlled lenses which allow
    continuous adjustment of magnification

    Ms.Oinam Robita Chanu 5


    Cont.
    3. Illumination
    Earlier microscopes used integrated light sources such as tungsten or
    halogen bulbs which generated a lot of heat.
    Development of fibreoptics enabled the use of a remote illumination
    source
    Automatic adjustment of light collimation in modern microscopes
    allows appropriate illumination as the magnification is varied

    Ms.Oinam Robita Chanu 6


    Cont.
    4. Stereoscopic perspective
    Each of the binocular eyepieces project a slightly different image of
    the field which is fused to form the resultant 3D image
    The binocular system ensures that the two images are always
    separated by the interpupillary distance of the observer irrespective
    of the depth of the field

    Ms.Oinam Robita Chanu 7


    Cont.
    5. Microscope mounts
    Essentially two types
    1. Floor mounted
    Transportable, occupies floor space
    2. Ceiling mounted
    More expensive, saves floor space
