Factors to Consider Before Selecting the Right ENT Microscope
Are you looking for an ENT microscope that caters to all of your diagnostic or surgical requirements? Do you need a perfectly designed microscope so you can fix it according to your convenience, and operate it for long hours without any fatigue?
You may have to operate the microscope for long hours during a surgery or need to turn it in different directions to get a clear view of the affected area.
Well, the design of a microscope plays an important role in its operation.Selecting the right equipment that fulfills your technical and functional objectives is a challenge that many ENT doctors and clinics face.
With an understanding of your requirements and knowledge about the functioning of different parts aids in choosing the right equipment. Different parts of a microscope and their functions are:
• Eye Piece: powered by lenses, eyepiece helps you view the affected area. The magnification power of the lenses is crucial factor in determining the right microscope to diagnose issues in the ENT region. Modern microscopes come fitted with intelligent LEDs to offer higher levels of magnification. Technically advanced optical systems such as Apochromatic Galilean optical system helps view the affected areas with greater clarity. Microscopes come with three or more objective lenses to offer magnification with better resolution. The power of magnification depends on the length of the lens.
• Source of Light: Illumination is key to viewing the affected areas. Powerful LED lights used for illumination offer bright light yet maintain temperature close to that of a room temperature so as not to heat up the equipment. These LED bulbs have a life span of several thousands of hours; some even have a life span of more than 50,000 hours. Replacing these bulbs is an easy task, as they are easily available in the market.
• Stage: Microscopes come with a flat platform to place your slides; with the help of clips, the stage holds your slide firmly. Mechanical microscopes come with two knobs to help you move them up or down or to right or left.
• Diaphragm: Diaphragm is the disk under the stage that can rotate. It makes it easy to adjust the magnification or intensity of the light on the slide.
• Floor Stand: ENT microscope may need mobility and portability. Many microscopes available on the market come with different types of stand to offer mobility to this equipment. You can mount them on a floor stand for better functionality. Alternatively, you can mount a microscope on a wall or even on the ceiling. One of the greatest advantage is that when not in use, you can fold them and save the space, it occupies when assembled.
The list of parts that make up an ENT microscope is huge; based on your requirements you can customize microscope with additional parts and accessories such as lenses, tubes, stands, to extend the scope of functionality and better user experience.
