ZEISS microscopes

What underpins the position of ZEISS microscopes?

ZEISS’s position in medical microscopy rests on optical quality, reliability, ergonomics and build quality. The manufacturer develops complete systems in which the microscope, the way it is positioned and equipment that supports the team’s work form a coherent whole. The distinctive design serves a practical purpose: the devices are designed for use in medical practices, treatment rooms and operating theatres.

Many ZEISS microscopes remain in use for years, which is why the brand’s devices are also present on the second-hand market. Their utility stems from their durable construction and the ability to adapt the configuration to the needs of the workstation. The manufacturer’s technical and service support also contributes to the brand’s reputation.

ZEISS microscope models and applications

The ZEISS portfolio includes microscopes designed for specific specialties as well as surgical systems used in several areas of microsurgery. The range of applications of a given model depends on its design, configuration and equipment.

ZEISS ophthalmic microscopes

The ophthalmic part of the ZEISS portfolio comprises the OPMI VISU family, including the OPMI VISU 150 and OPMI VISU 210, as well as the OPMI Lumera i, OPMI Lumera T, OPMI LUMERA 300 and OPMI LUMERA 700 models. It also includes the ARTEVO family with the 750, 800 and 850 models. Devices intended for this specialty are presented in the ophthalmic microscopes category.

ZEISS microscopes for neurosurgery and spine surgery

Systems used in neurosurgery and spine surgery include the OPMI Vario, OPMI Vario 700, OPMI PENTERO, OPMI PENTERO 900, PENTERO 800 S and KINEVO 900 S. Selected systems in this group are also used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, depending on the model and configuration.

ZEISS microscopes in dentistry

Models designed for office-based practice in dentistry include the OPMI Pico, OPMI PROergo and EXTARO 300. Appropriately configured microsurgical systems are also used in this field, so the choice of devices is not limited to models designed for office-based practice.

ZEISS microscopes in ENT

Systems used in ENT (otolaryngology) include the OPMI Sensera and TIVATO 700. Selected multidisciplinary systems are also used in this field, depending on their configuration and equipment.

ZEISS microscope model and configuration

The same ZEISS microscope model can be fitted with different suspension systems, illumination and equipment for simultaneous viewing and image recording. The choice of configuration depends on the device’s intended use, the operator’s way of working and the installation conditions.

What determines the price of a ZEISS microscope?

The price of a used ZEISS microscope is influenced by:

• the model and version of the device;
• the suspension system;
• the optical configuration;
• the illumination system;
• the video system;
• additional equipment.

At Medical Elektro, every microscope undergoes refurbishment to the same standard. We set the price individually for each unit and its configuration.

Used and refurbished ZEISS microscopes

The term ‘used’ refers to a microscope with a history of use. A refurbished surgical microscope is a used device that undergoes a multi-stage process to prepare it for sale.

Refurbishment at Medical Elektro follows one standard that applies to the complete configuration of each individual unit. For ZEISS microscopes, this includes the complete microscope with the appropriate suspension system and equipment. Each refurbished unit has its own photographs and a description that matches its configuration, and is covered by a 12-month warranty. The surgical microscope refurbishment process page sets out the scope in detail.

ZEISS microscope availability

The list of ZEISS devices is updated automatically. Information about availability, configuration and equipment is provided for each unit.

If the model or configuration you are looking for is not on the list, we can check whether a suitable microscope can be sourced. Contact Medical Elektro and describe the intended application and the equipment you require.
