Leica M651: a Surgical Microscope for Controlled Procedures
The Leica M651 operating microscope is a precision tool designed specifically to meet the requirements of surgical disciplines. Whether in gynaecology, urology or plastic surgery, this model allows stable positioning and precise manipulation of the operating field thanks to its balanced mechanical design.
Mounted on a counterbalanced mobile arm, the Leica M651 can be installed on a ceiling stand (MS-F), floor stand (MS-C) or wall mount (MS-A), depending on the layout of the operating theatre. The arm, equipped with several swivel brakes, ensures smooth movement while preventing unwanted oscillations. Fine adjustment is made easy by control buttons that allow for gradual tilting and swivelling, which is essential during complex procedures.
The optical system is based on wide-angle eyepieces with individual dioptre adjustment ranging from +5 to -5, allowing adaptation to each user, even those who wear glasses. The interpupillary distance is also adjustable (from 52 to 76 mm), ensuring optimal visual comfort. The depth of field can be adjusted using a double iris diaphragm, operated via a dedicated lever, and extended with a sterilisable extension for aseptic environments.
In terms of lighting, the Leica M651 has a reliable internal light source with a bulb slide and a quick-change system that lets you swap bulbs during surgery if needed. Filters can be added as needed, and the adjustable transformer makes sure you've got the right power supply. The microscope is positioned above the operating field using dedicated handles, ensuring contact-free orientation away from sensitive areas such as the binocular tube.
Every component of the Leica M651 is designed to guarantee precision, stability and safety in a surgical environment. Its compatibility with a wide range of Leica accessories further expands its range of applications, making it a comprehensive tool that is well suited to the realities of the operating theatre.
