The Som-12 can be configured as a “FACE-TO-FACE” (two surgeons sitting opposite each other) surgical Microscope system.

As all “KAPS” Microscopes, the SOM-12 has been designed to offer a wide range of attachments and accessories to suit all the above mentioned Micro-Surgical disciplines.

Optimum Integration:

The “H” Floor stand with its integrated brake easily moved from one Operating Theater to the other. The long and steady arm gives the Microscope a large action radius, enabling the Surgeon to either sit or stand up.

Feather-light Positioning:

The new “FREE-Motion” Magnetic Clutch, in combination with the “BALANCING CONTROL SYSTEM” makes it very easy to manoeuvre and position the Microscope with the touch of a button.

Day-Light Illumination:

The integrated 180Watt Xenon Light Source (Xenonlux) offers optimum “Shadow-Free” illumination.
The motorized adjustable diaphragm/shutter can be set to full field or spot illumination (10mm) giving the surgeon an optimum Field-of-View.

Ergonomic & User friendly:

The controls for Zoom & Focus are ergonomically located around the Microscope body. As an alternative there is also a Foot control available.

The Focus & Zoom speed as well as X-Y speed can be adjusted on the Floor stand control panel. The motorized shutter control for the Xenon illumination is located in the arm of the floor stand. There is also a 150Watt halogen back-up light source that can be switched-in in a matter of seconds.
Our new 0-210degree height-adjustable binocular tube in conjunction with the side-adjustable swivel mechanism offers a maximum of comfort and fatigue-free sitting or standing position for the Micro-surgeon especially during long operations.
