The OPMI operating microscope system for use in micro-neurosurgery is here described. Its various illumination systems, tubes, eyepieces, objectives and other accessories make it extremely versatile and it also offers excellent possibilities for documentation (photo, film, video). Furthermore, over and above its facilities for dual observation and assistants, it also enables two surgeons to work together during an operation. A variety of floor stands and ceiling mounts ensure that all requirements regarding mobility and economic use of space are fulfilled. Possible uses for CO2 and Nd-YAG lasers are also given.
