Assistants
Microscope Attachment
An assistant microscope is a separate
binocular viewing system with eyepieces. It provides the same stereoimage as
provided 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.
Documentation
and Training
It has been possible to document
(photograph) different stages of the procedure and record the finding as
observed through the microscope. This progress have been achieved through:
• Introduction
of high speed artificial light color films.
• Introduction
of 35 mm film color camera with automatic exposure control.
• Introduction
of co-axial flash equipment, controlled through sensor in the modern 35 mm
camera.
• Cine
camera also have been adapted for the microscope work.
• Today
high quality color television cameras have also been introduced:
a. These have facilitated video recording of
procedures.
b. These video films are cheaper than Cine
films.
c. Light weight, Solid state inexpensive
cameras can provide excellent observation facilities for training of
microsurgery trainees.
