microscope to be configured to your specific needs.
Make sure not to exceed the maximum admissible load in order to ensure
optimum mobility and reliable operation of your OPMI Vario. The weight

For example, the combined accessory modules of configuration (1)
without the video objective lens and video camera have a weight of
3.9 kg.
Caution:
•
Select your configurations so that the weight distribution is as
symmetrical as possible.

Please observe the maximum permissible load on the suspension
system.

The extensive removal of accessory modules may lead to unintended
tilting of the microscope body. Rebalance the surgical microscope in
this case.

lowing section "Mounting the tube and eyepieces" () for the binocular
