Zeiss OPMI 99: Performance and Economy for ENT Professionals
The Zeiss OPMI 99 microscope is designed to meet the needs of ENT professionals seeking a high-performing yet economical solution. Although more compact than newer models, it offers remarkable image quality through precise optics and a fiber optic light source.
The OPMI 99 stands out with its smaller head and optics, crafted from engineering polymers and carbon fiber-reinforced materials. This lightweight and robust design ensures easy handling and enhanced durability. The microscope is equipped with straight or inclined binocular tubes of 80 mm with fixed high-eyepoint eyepieces of 19x, providing optimal visual comfort for users.
The 3-step Galilean magnification changer (0.6x, 1x, 1.6x) allows for quick and precise adjustments according to examination needs. With a base of 16 mm, this system ensures consistent image quality at each magnification level. The available objectives, ranging from f=100 mm to f=400 mm, offer a magnification range from 2x to 48x, covering a wide array of clinical applications.
The OPMI 99 features a 10 mm fine-focusing device for precise adjustments and optimal viewing. Additionally, the entire instrument can be moved on its balanced parallelogram arm, offering great flexibility in positioning.
The 75W/12V halogen light source, integrated into the main arm of the stand, provides powerful and consistent illumination. The light intensity is adjustable, allowing adaptation to various examination conditions. The power supply is compatible with international standards (115/230 V, 50-60 Hz), facilitating use in diverse clinical environments.
Three stand types are available for the OPMI 99: a short stand for the colposcope version, a tall floor stand for doctors' offices and electrologists, and a table stand for lab work. Each stand is designed for stability and maneuverability, with casters for easy movement.
While primarily used in ENT, the OPMI 99 has also found applications in other medical fields, such as electrolysis for hair removal. Enhanced visualization enables faster, more efficient, and safer work.
The Zeiss OPMI 99 microscope is an ideal solution for ENT professionals seeking to combine performance and economy. Its robust design, quality optics, and flexible use make it a wise choice for medical practices and laboratories.
