Background
In 1590, compound microscope had been invented and was used for examination
of wounds and scars in the late 17th century, it had several limitations.
Carl Zeiss company presented a binocular loupe with a working distance of 25 cm,
which opened the door to modern microsurgery.
In the late 19th century, Ernst Abbe proposed numerical aperture and greatly
enhanced the resolution of microscopes.
In 1921 a monocular microscope truly entered the operating room for an aural
surgery.
One year later, this idea was modified using a binocular microscope.

and OPMI 3
Components
It has all the high-precision optics that provide a clear magnified image with the
minimum distortion.
The binoculars mounted on the microscope head offer stereopsis.
Multiple optical ports are open for adaptation of imaging devices.
These imaging devices can be video cameras or for assistants to share the
identical FOV.
Microscope
body
Light source
It is installed away from the microscope to avoid heating the microscope optics or
the surgical site.
Commonly used light sources for surgical microscope are:
xenon light bulbs
halogen light bulbs
light-emitting diodes (LED)
Supporting structure
zoom value (MZOOM)
Resolution
Human eyes have an inherent resolution of 0.2 mm
With 20× magnification it can be increased to 0.01 mm
Principle
The basic principle of the microscope is two convex lenses ( objective lens and eyepiece
lens)
These are separated to a certain distance more than the focal length of each lens.
The primary requisite for the good operating microscope is smooth magnification without
any change in working distance.
Working distance is the distance between the objective lens and the main focusing point.
For the smooth transition of this magnification, the operating microscope is fitted with a
magnification changer based on the principle of the Galilean telescope .

Specimen Preparation
The speciman in this case are the organs and the tissues which are observed live
under the microscope.
Various fluorescent dyes have been invented for different surgical applications and
put into use.
Most invented dyes generate visible fluorescence, surgeons are provided with a
high contrast of visualization, and they are able to separate different tissues with
human eyes.
Besides the visible exogenous fluorescence, some dyes that emit fluorescence in
the NIR wavelength range, such as the ICG, are also helpful during surgery.
Image
In Pakistan the operating microscopes are nearly available at all following places
where either surgeries or compelete observation of the eye and ear are made:
hospitals
dental clinics
Aopthalmology clinics
The price of an operating microscope can range from $10,000 to $40,000
depending upon the advanced features it have.
Research use
The further research and advancement can help in directly visualizing the bacteria
and viruses in the organs, tissues of the human body.
