Stereoscopic television system for use with the operating microscope. Technical note.

A new and simple method of stereoscopic television imaging of surgical procedures performed under an operating microscope has been developed. Two television cameras of the same type, two television monitors of the same size, and a mirror box for fusion of the two visual objects on the two television monitors are used. No significant modifications of available components are necessary. The method can be applied to all operating microscopes with a beam splitter.
