Surgical microscopes, also known as operating microscopes, are used to perform various types of surgeries, such as ENT surgery, oncology surgeries, endodontic surgeries, urology surgeries, ophthalmic surgeries, neurosurgeries, and others. Advanced surgical microscopes provides the operator with a controllable option for illumination and visualization that is essential in micro-incisional techniques. An operating microscope is a specialized optical microscope designed to be used specifically in a medical setting, usually to do microscopic surgery. The name comes from the fact that the specimen can be viewed with the naked eye through the microscope. Surgical microscopes allow surgeons to look inside of the body under a light microscope to determine the location, size, and depth of a disease or injury.
A surgical microscope or optical microscope is an instrument that can magnify an object up to three times normal using an electric light source and it has a very high magnification and is used to examine very small objects under the microscope with a variety of different tools available. Operating a surgical microscope or optical microscope is often used by pathologists to examine tissue samples from a patient who has had surgery to look at any abnormal growths or masses that have not been detected in the normal tissues. These special tools are extremely useful for finding out more about a condition or disease as they can magnify very small objects and provide clear images of what is going on.
They can also be used during surgery to examine tissue after it has been cut into. They are especially important to surgeons because they allow them to do delicate surgery, such as removing the tonsil stone in a child's tonsils. Visualization optics, or visibility, is determined by viewing the specimen through one of the eyepieces. Two different technologies are used: single lens reflex and simultaneous feeding systems. With the single lens reflex, the operating microscope’s eyepieces is directly connected to the instrument's camera; therefore, the image produced is directly overhead.
The general rules of surgical procedures are followed in the operating room. Every surgeon is required to have his own medical equipment; equipment not needed during the procedure is stored in lockers. After the patient is wheeled into the operating room, he will be examined by the surgeon and given medications if appropriate. Surgeons normally open the rectum to insert a catheter to drain excess stomach fluid. After this, they place the catheter in one of two places: the scissor or the lower end of the gastrointestinal tract, where it passes through the upper intestine to the stomach; or in the colon, where it drains into the large intestine. Either way, all tissue, cells, or other structures in the body are examined with surgical microscopes.
The most common surgical microscopes used today have two major components: the objective and the housing. The objective consists of the specimen and the housing and serves as the 'base' for the entire system. The housing is the 'piece' that goes on top of the objective. Many different objectives can be used with surgical microscopes and some of these common objectives include single-lens reflex, fluorescent illumination, fluorescence, or confocal microscopy. In order for surgeons to achieve the level of detail that he requires from the specimen, they have to ensure that both the specimen and the housing are well illuminated. This is done through the use of a combination of different lighting systems.
