User manual LEICA M680 2 X 2 BROCHURE

[. . . ] This results in better and quicker team work. Naturally, the Leica M680 can also be used like a conventional surgical microscope, and under these circumstances the two independent zooms can be coupled at the touch of a key, the individual focusing possibilities remaining unimpaired. Mechanical, optical and electronic components have been combined in the Leica M680 at a level never before seen in a surgical microscope, resulting in a compact high-technology instrument. The fascinating advance of technology in this field is perceptible in the diagram opposite, and goes a long way towards meeting medical requirements. [. . . ] Our development work is user-orientated; we keep the patient at the centre of our activities. Medical consultants from various disciplines have critically followed every step and have enriched the project with their advice. Interchangeable objectives Focal lengths 200 mm, 250 mm, 300 mm and 350 mm, for various working distances, magnification ranges and field diameters. 5 Interchangeable stereo modules and rotatable adapters: The instrument accommodates to you and to your requirements. In addition to the well-established 180º dual stereo attachments, the Leica M680 includes a real innovation: Short and long stereo modules, combinable as required. These quickly-interchangeable modules compensate for differences in stature between the two surgeons, and also balance out an asymmetrical field of operation. Whether an operating table is broad or narrow is no longer important; the adaptable Leica M680 accommodates to the conditions imposed. The individuals at the instrument both have access to a relaxed posture in all respects. Ergonomic working at the Leica M680 is not a matter of chance; it is a concept. lf the microscope has to be swung out during the operation, the binocular tube can be levelled up with a ±30º rotatable adapter, and the comfortable head position is retained. Because of its optical quality, its constant light intensity and its adaptable components, the Leica M680 offers the best conditions for fatiguefree operations extending over many hours. 6 Example: Operating table broad and operating field asymmetrical: Stereo modules, long/short Ergonomics: The science of human engineering. People are not all built to the same pattern, and these differences, along with the requirements imposed by the various surgical techniques, must be taken into account during the designing of a surgical microscope. The problems can only be overcome with a dynamic system of modular components. Getting the configuration right is one of the most important functions of our R&D department. No more problems with ergonomics Operating table broad or narrow?Operating field symmetrical or asymmetrical?Two long stereo modules and two short ones ensure the maximum of viewing comfort for both users. 7 User-friendliness and motorized movement: All four hands are free for the operation. The motorized mobility and built-in intelligence of the Leica M680 underpin the surgeon's work. Focusing and zooming are both motorized, as are the tilting and turning of the microscope, so it is very easy to position the instrument over the operating field. Each user has a separate handswitch or footswitch and individual access to the zoom and focusing system. In practise, one of the surgeons also takes over responsibility for governing the movements of the microscope. This function can be transferred to the other surgeon during the course of the operation. The automatic accommodation of focusing and tilt speeds to the zoom position is also very convenient, because it enables the speeds to be reduced with increasing magnification, thus avoiding overrun of the correct focus plane and of the selected observation point. When the instrument is switched on, the zoom and the internal focus automatically travel to a central starting position. This reset function can be reactivated at any time. [. . . ] Just as you wish. 10 Modularity and the future: Surgical techniques evolve. The precise procedures and requirements of the future are not known, and yet a pace-setting surgical microscope must be ready for them. Only the flexibility offered by a modular system provides the latitude to accommodate unforeseen modifications and new accessories, and that is why Leica surgical microscopes are planned along these lines. For floor or ceiling The floor stand is rollable from place to place. The position chosen for the ceiling mount takes account of the layout of the room and of the locations of existing installations. 11 Leica Microsystems ­ the brand for outstanding products The main performance features Magnification changer Focusing drive Tiltable and inclinable joints Adjustment speeds Binocular tube 2x 1:5 zoom, motorized 2x internal focus, motorized Motorized Dependent on magnification 2x with variable viewing angle and tube adapter, ±30º rotatable 2x short, 2x long f=200 mm, 250 mm, 300 mm, 350 mm 10x, 16x 1, 4x to 12, 5x (with 10x eyepieces) 16. 8 mm to 147 mm (with 10x eyepieces) 2x precision-centred 12 V/50 W halogen bulbs Floor stand and ceiling mount, OH overhead stand Photo/TV dual adapter, stereo attachment for second observer, Leica 2-2D video module Leica Microsystems' mission is to be the world's first-choice provider of innovative solutions to our customers' needs for vision, measurement, lithography and analysis of microstructures.
