Endodontic microscope - Galilean optics


OPTICS OF THE SURGICAL MICROSCOPE
l  Present day microscopes are stereo microscopes with Galilean optics
l  Galilean optics focus at infinity and send parallel beams of light to each eye and are also referred as infinity corrected optics
l  It permits relaxed viewing with minimum eye strain and fatigue
Allows the clinician to see the depth of field


Optical principles
l  At the front , the objective lens with a large diameter images the objects towards infinity
l  Right behind the lens ,the magnification changer systems increases or decreases the initial magnification of the front lens system
l  Behind it the binocular tube and the eyepiece form a telescope .Binocular tube serves for further magnification and inversion of the image
