Kaps SOM® 62 Ophthal Advanced Operating Microscope

Fully Motorized Microscope for High‑Precision Ophthalmic Surgery


The SOM 62 Ophthal Advanced is Kaps’ flagship surgical microscope for every ophthalmic procedure—from routine cataract cases to complex posterior‑segment work. Its compact footprint, apochromatic 1 : 6 motorized zoom, and ultra‑bright coaxial illumination with stable red reflex give surgeons exceptional optical clarity while maintaining an ergonomic, hands‑free workflow.

Key Features
  • Motorized Precision & Ergonomic Freedom: Apochromatic motorized 1 : 6 zoom and 40 mm motorized fine focus deliver razor‑sharp detail at any working distance. 0 – 210° swivel binocular tube lets the surgeon maintain a natural posture, even in seated or standing positions. 50 × 50 mm XY coupling and zoom/focus/XY control via footswitch keep both hands free for instrumentation.
  • Bright, Stable Red Reflex: 15 V / 150 W coaxial fiber‑optic illumination with built‑in UV and GG 475 retina‑protection filters generates a high‑contrast, glare‑free red reflex that enhances layer and membrane visualization. Optional backup lamp switches instantly to prevent illumination interruptions mid‑procedure.
  • Compact Design, Easy Positioning: Slim, space‑saving column and balanced arm allow the microscope to be placed close to the surgical field without crowding the team.
  • Comprehensive Documentation & Teaching: Modular stereo observer tubes, beam splitters, and HD camera adapters support live assistance, training, and high‑quality video recording. TFT‑monitor mounting solutions position displays exactly where needed for real‑time viewing.
  • Asepsis & Sterility: Clip‑on sterile drapes and handle covers help maintain a sterile field without compromising access to controls.
