Karl Kaps Germany SOM 62 Ophthalmic Microscope – Advanced

The Karl Kaps Germany SOM 62 Ophthalmic Microscope – Advanced is a fully motorised, multidisciplinary ophthalmic microscope designed for all types of eye surgery, from cataract procedures to posterior segment surgery. Its compact design makes it an ideal choice for smaller operating rooms and laser centres.

Karl Kaps Germany operating microscopes combine easy and precise positioning, outstanding illumination with a bright, high-contrast red reflex, and excellent optical quality.

All accessories, including those available for the SOM® 62 Basic, can be integrated at a later stage. The microscope is available with a floor stand featuring either a star-shaped or H-shaped base.

Full Motorised Functionality

The compact design allows a short working distance between the surgeon and the operating field, providing user-friendly operation and immediate readiness for use.

Additional advantages include:

• 0–210° Binocular Swivel Tube: Provides flexibility and convenient positioning for the surgeon.
• Advanced Optical Performance: The apochromatic 1:6 zoom system delivers crisp, crystal-clear images with high light transmission and natural colours.
• Motorised Fine Focus: Works in combination with the zoom system to provide enhanced user comfort.
• Multifunction Control Unit: Allows the surgeon to control almost all microscope functions, including zoom, focus and XY movements, without removing their hands from the operative field.
• Quick and Precise Adjustments: All adjustments can be completed within seconds using simple control knobs.
• Integrated XY Coupling: Enables movement and repositioning of the microscope head. With a single press of the centre button, the head automatically returns to its central position, preparing the microscope for the next surgery.

Compact Suspension and Mounting Solutions

The Karl Kaps Germany SOM 62 offers flexible mounting solutions to accommodate different operating room requirements.

• Mobile Floor Stand: Equipped with large castors and brakes, allowing the microscope to be easily moved between rooms.
• Ceiling-Mounted Version: Available for operating rooms with limited space, offering a high action radius.

Convenient Operation During Surgery

The SOM 62 is designed to make surgical procedures easier and more efficient.

When the microscope head is moved into its standby position, the illumination automatically switches off. Once the system is returned to its working position, the illumination switches back on automatically.

This automatic function saves time and reduces halogen bulb consumption.
