The BIOM 4 incorporates the principle of indirect ophthalmoscopy in the operating microscope and enables a view of more than 130 degrees of non-contact fundus observation. Under the BIOM 4, the eye may be rotated freely so that the extreme periphery can be easily viewed. Even surgery through small pupils is possible. The SDI inverter corrects the image with full stereoscopic viewing.
The SDI 4c automatically inverts the stereo image when the BIOM 4c is swung into the coaxial position for observation, and automatically reverts when the BIOM 4c is swung out of the way for extraocular surgery. Inversion can also be controlled manually or by foot pedal.
