ABSTRACT:
In accord with one aspect of the invention, an apparatus for illuminating and magnifying an object in a sterile field for observation is provided. A holder is mounted at one end of a base assembly. A magnifying lens is mounted to the holder and defines a field of vision. A light is attached to the holder by an attaching means in a predetermined spatial relationship with the lens such that the light directs a beam of light into the field. A method is provided for illuminating and magnifying an object in a sterile field without contaminating the sterile field. The base assembly and the holder are sterilized. The base assembly is positioned in the sterile field. A sterile pack containing the light in a sterilized condition is opened and the light is moved into the sterile field. The light is inserted into the opening of the holder. The light is actuated and provides a light beam. The magnifying lens is removed from a sterile pack and moved into the sterile field. The lens is attached to the holder in a predetermined spatial relationship with the light such that the lens defines a field of vision which the light beam intersects. An object is brought into the field of vision.
