Function
Balancing system and brakes
The Leica M500 OH3 surgical microscope consists of the Leica
M500 N surgical microscope and the Leica OH3 floor stand.
The stand and surgical microscope are balanced out by the
balancing system. All movements which must be carried out
during the surgery require only minimal force.
The AB swivel movement is balanced out via the A and B
pinion.
Movement C is balanced out at the microscope carrier.

Illumination
The illumination of the Leica M500 OH3 surgical microscope
consists of a main illuminator and a backup illuminator.
They are located in the illumination unit.
The main and backup illuminators consist of xenon lamps. The
light of the main and backup illuminators is lead to the optics
carrier via a fibre-optic cable through the base.
If the main illuminator fails, the plug of the fibre-optic cable is
switched over to the backup illumination.
