Abstract

Objective diameter, stereo base, illumination, anti-reflective coating and design complexity of optical parts (lenses, prisms, etc.) are all essential optical parameters of surgical microscopes. Neurosurgeons should understand the relationship between working distance, magnification, aperture, light output, depth of focus, exit pupil, and heat injury of the tissue. Adjustments of diopter scale and balance, and draping are very important for comfortable microneurosurgery. Operators should keep in mind that surgical procedures are performed at the center of the microscopic operative field with adequate magnification, aperture and light output in a relaxed posture.
