PURCHASE DESCRIPTION
Surgical Microscopes
1. Statement of Need and Purpose: Surgical microscopes are required for performing precise neurosurgical manipulations in the context of our research in the field of neuropsychology.
2. Background Information and Objective: Surgical microscopes have been used in the field of neuropsychology for several decades to facilitate the precise manipulation of discrete regions of non-human primate brain; e.g. for performing aspiration lesions, injections of anatomical tracers and, more recently, visualized injections of viral vectors for the expression of molecular tools. These manipulations are essential to the overall study objective: understanding how cognitive functions arise from communication among neurons in the brain. The current equipment (Opmi Vario S88) is over 15 years old, and the equipment is no longer supported or maintained by the manufacturer. Additionally, the equipment is at the end of its life cycle, and as the components fail there is a loss of functionality.
3. Generic Name of Product: Surgical microscope
4. Purchase Description: Brand name or equal Zeiss Tivato 700 surgical microscope
5. Salient characteristics:
- Autobalance one Touch balancing
- Auto Drape suction (to remove air from the drape)
- Xenon 300watt light source
- Wireless 14 function waterproof foot control.
- Foldable binocular Tube with 10x eyepieces, that retract or extend 4 inches, & have ability to manually double the magnification with an integrated knob that allows surgeon to see target in greater detail.
