[The slit-lamp as operating microscope a personal device (author's transl)]. 1977

E Kleberger

Instead of the operating doublemicroscope described by Harms the Zeiss slit-lamp was suspended on the microscope stand by means of two special couplings in form of two stairs, so that the biomicroscopy in the optic section can be performed also when operating, especially in surgery of the retina when using contact glasses. This improvisation is a cost saving alternative against the newly commercially available operating slit-lamp.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008853	Microscopy	The use of instrumentation and techniques for visualizing material and details that cannot be seen by the unaided eye. It is usually done by enlarging images, transmitted by light or electron beams, with optical or magnetic lenses that magnify the entire image field. With scanning microscopy, images are generated by collecting output from the specimen in a point-by-point fashion, on a magnified scale, as it is scanned by a narrow beam of light or electrons, a laser, a conductive probe, or a topographical probe.

D008866	Microsurgery	The performance of surgical procedures with the aid of a microscope.
D012163	Retinal Detachment	Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
