MAGNIFICATION IN SUGERY

OPERATING MICROSCOPE 2




HOW TO CONTROL the functions of the microcope during surgery?

In the case of the manual microscope, all controls such as
Focusing, magnification, change the tilt of the microscope, are
Done by different hand knobs.
- These can be covered with sterilzable rubber caps provided
with the microscope OR
\
- The complete instrument (besides the eye pieces) can be draped with a loose sterile plastic drape, and the knobs adjusted through this drape
OR
With motorized microscopes, the functions are controlled by a foot switch.
- The controls can also be built into a specially designed
surgeons Operating chair. OR

- Alternatively a hand switch, inserted into a sterile plastic
bag for use during operation

What are the parts of the ASSISTANTS' MICROSCOPE ATTACHMENT?
An assistant’s microscope is a separate binocular viewing
system with eye pieces.
-It provides the same stereo image as seen in the main microscope.
-This is through a beam splitter, which splits the image and directs it to the assistants' microscope, which has its own independent magnification control.
-This makes it possible for the assistant to participate and
assist in Surgical procedures.
