A ideal Surgical Microscope for ENT procedures should have certain basic characteristics. Typical ENT microscopes have manual magnificationn changers, and Manual focus, however there are units that are more extensive and combine motorized zoom, and focus features that are typically controlled via pistol grip controls, handswitch or a footswitch. And there are even units with electro-magnetic clutches to facilitate easy stable positioning over the surgical field without the need to loosen or tighten any knobs. A strong light source is also a plus. Many surgeons today opt for Xenon illumination as opposed to the traditional halogen light sources which have been a standard for many years. This is advantages especially for inner ear cases. In an office envirement halogen seems to be satisfactory for most. A long reach counterbalanced arm which does not drift and multi-axis pivoting of the optical head is very important. Typically the scope is configured with a 250mm objective lens and a straight binocular body, however there is always the option to upgrade to a inclinable binocular.
