Zumax Beam Splitter (20%:80%)

This accessory is used to split the light beam passing through the microscope, allowing different accessories to be connected to the microscope without obstructing the observation through the main binocular head.

It has a 20%:80% split, which means that 80% of the light passing through the optical path reaches the binocular head (the user's eyes), ensuring a clear and bright image during the examination or intervention. The remaining 20% ​​is directed to another output where different devices can be connected.
What is this 20%:80% split for?
Its main purpose is to connect external devices to the microscope for observation, documentation or education. This specific 20%:80% ratio means that the user still has ample light available through the binocular head, while also allowing enough light to reach the connected device.

• Connecting a video or digital camera:* allows you to capture images or videos. This is great for documentation, patient education, or educational purposes, such as creating a live online presentation.
  * camera adapter required, depending on the camera type
• Connecting an assistant head: in this case, another binocular head can be connected, so that an assistant or student can follow the image seen by the main operator in real time.
