ABSTRACT:
Stereoscopic on-screen surgical microscope systems are disclosed. One or more stereoscopic displays are provided which are corrected to the viewpoint of the participant or observer. A switching system which may be connected to the deflection yokes of a video monitor and a stereoscopic encoder, is employed to selectively provide up-down reversal, right-left reversal, and reversal of the images viewed by each eye. A stereoscopic video camera pod is employed to retrofit a surgical microscope to provide a field of view and magnification comparable to that obtained at the microscope eyepieces.
