User manual LEICA M525 F20 MULTI BROCHURE

[. . . ] Safer illumination High-quality, safer illumination gives enough light for the deepest operative sites while providing more patient safety. 3 Easy to position With the Leica M525 F20 all microscope movement is easy and requires minimal force. The precise, balanced positioning and repositioning of the system ensures efficient surgery. This extra positioning flexibility and superior maneuverability allow the surgeon to work for hours in comfort, without fatigue. [. . . ] Safer, fast illumination The Leica M525 F20 features two completely independent 180W xenon arc-lamp illumination systems. In the event of a lamp failure in the primary system, the second system is available within one second with a switch of a lever, which gives the surgeon peace of mind that surgery will not be jeopardized. BrightCareTM ­ Working-distance-controlled illumination As a microscope's working distance decreases, the intensity of the microscope light (without adjustments) increases. This can pose a risk of tissue burns to patients. The BrightCareTM workingdistance-controlled light intensity feature addresses this issue to provide more safety for the patient by adjusting light intensity based on the working distance. AutoIrisTM ­ Magnification-controlled illumination As magnification increases, the field of view becomes smaller, but the illumination field remains the same. This can potentially cause tissue burns. To provide additional safety for the patient, the AutoIrisTM magnification-controlled illumination diameter automatically works with the zoom, providing a field of illumination that is only as wide as the surgeon's field of view. Illumination Settings Microscope at LOW Magnification Microscope at HIGH Magnification Leica Microsystems Microscope with AutoIrisTM Illumination Settings Max Max BrightCareTM Adjusted Previously, as magnification At low magnification, the field of illumination (yellow) increased, the field of view fills the field of view (green). became smaller, but the illumination field remained the same. The illumination outside the field of view could potentially cause tissue burns (red). Now, Leica's AutoIrisTM automatically works with the zoom, decreasing the field of illumination as the field of view decreases. There is no peripheral illumination to cause tissue burns outside the field of view. Working Distance Long working distance Decreased working distance creates burn potential BrightCareTM auto adjustment for safer illumination levels (up to 60% decrease based on the working distance) 7 Balancing Motorized control for faster, more precise AB-Balancing. The buttons are conveniently located above the optical head. Leica Zoom Video Adapter The focusable Leica Zoom Video Adapter with its unique 3 optical zoom matches the video image on the monitor with the view through the microscope. e. g. for Spine/Cranial/ENT Pistol Grip Features zoom and focus buttons. The surgeon can also program the additional buttons according to his or her needs. e. g. for Cranial/ENT Modularity Leica Microsystems' wide range of observation accessories ensures the best positioning for both the surgeon and assistant to offer the best possible view. Furthermore, the interface for micromanipulators is compatible with a variety of laser systems.
