SET UP THE MICROSCOPE






STEPS OF PREPARATION OF THE MICROSCOPE FOR THE OPERATION

- Position the microscope over the table for the operation, and
as required by the surgeon, be sure to leave space required
by the assistant, scrub nurse, anesthesia team, equipment
and sterile trolleys
- Arrange the path of the mains lead from the wall socket to
Ensure that it is not in the path of flow of the OT staff

- check and tighten, if necessary, the safety locks between
Microscope and stand

- Ensure that correct objectives and binocular tubes are
Inserted for the particular operation
- Clean the objectives and eyepieces of main, and assistants’
Microscope
- Switch on the microscope
First at the wall socket
Second at the stand
Switch on the lights
- After the operation this procedure of switch off must be reversed
- First switch off lights, next stand, lastly wall switch
- Ensure all sterilzable caps or drapes are available

WHEN NOT IN USE CARE

Dust is very harmful for microscopes thus they should be kept
Covered with a dust cover when not in use and never left without
Objective, binocular tube or eyepieces fitted.
* Cameras are kept locked up for security; the dust cap should be put on the outlet
* All accessories, spare objectives, and eyepieces, should be
kept in dust proof containers
