Light management

You can choose between the new LED light source (description on page 13) and the well-proven Novalux light source with light cable. Both solutions provide pure white light and thus allow an authentic display of any object you survey.

Support system

Whether mobile or fixed: GLOBAL mounts guarantee a solid and secure stand.

Spring arm system

Completely balanced, allows fluid-like movements even with the addition of heavy accessories. The slim design ensures a fit even in the tightest spaces.

Detailed competence Systematic precision

Models

Choose one of three models: G3, G4 or G6. The right chart shows the different magnification levels of the models. For example, model G6 features a magnification of 2.1 with a work area diameter of 95 mm, allowing you to view the entire oral cavity in focus.

6

Microscope body

The body of the microscope holds all optical components: Binoculars, lenses, and the integrated magnification changer.

Objective with fine focus

The ideal working distance to the patient is a focal length of 250 mm, giving your hands sufficient room to perform the treatment. The fine focus range of 20 mm always guarantees an easy focus adjustment especially at high magnification levels.

Maneuvering handles

The maneuvering handles on both sides are adjustable and allow quick access.

Magnification changer

Magnification can be easily changed using the knobs located on both sides of the microscope body.

Inclinable binoculars

The 220° inclination range enables an adjustment of the binoculars to allow you to work in the most ergonomical-friendly position.

Eye cups

The latex-free eye cups are adjustable so that the binoculars can be used by spectacle wearers as well. As an alternative, the diopter adjustment permits you to set the eyepieces to your unique prescription, thus allowing you to work without your glasses.

Beyond any compromise –

now more than ever!

In many dental surgeries treatment documentation is already part of the daily routine.

The recorded images and video sequences allow not only an optimized process control of the treatment but are also suitable for case communication with colleagues. Using the documentation

as a patient education device is also an excellent marketing tool for your practice.

This all to make sure you can reach all your goals!

Solid diagnostics and improved communication

Fine focus

The convenient design ensures that you can move the lever with the back of your hand to the left or right for easy fine focus adjustment without having to put down the instruments.

Inclinable binoculars

Adjust the microscope to your ideal, relaxed seating position. Here the continuously inclinable binoculars play an important role. With a quick, single-handed movement, the binoculars are adjusted to your correct eye level allowing for a comfortable, tension-free neck, back and shoulders.

Magnification changer and maneuvering handles

Allowing easy movement of the microscope head and adjustment of the magnification level just as easily.

Seating posture

Working with the dental microscope allows an ergonomically ideal seating position which is further enhanced by the special GLOBAL MicroSurgeon’s Chair (see page 13).

The modular design allows individual upgrades of your GLOBAL dental microscope at any time.

Whether you wish to add the latest SLR camera or the family-owned camcorder, our flexible documentation solutions keep your GLOBAL dental microscope up-to-date at all times.

All of the systems shown right can be attached to the microscope with little effort. The external adaptation of the components always leaves sufficient space for your camera. So relax and look forward to the latest developments in the area of photo and video equipment.

Monitor mount

Patient education or monitoring by your assistant is made possible by a special swivel arm for flat screen monitors. The arm is attached to the center column of the floor stand and can be pivoted vertically and horizontally.

Combination options

A beam splitter with dual ports permits a combination of the above options. Would you like to take high resolution photos and simultaneously send a video signal for monitoring and documentation on your computer? The SLR camera and block video camera can both be attached to the microscope using a dual port beam splitter.

The image depth can be enhanced by the incorporation of the dual iris diaphragm with the SLR X-mount and the X-mount.

C-mount adapter for block video cameras

The 1-chip camera delivers excellent pictures to your monitor. The video signal can be fed into your computer system. The amount of light necessary for the camera is less than 5 %, leaving 95 % of the light for the user.

X-mount adapter for camcorders or digital cameras

This uniquely designed adapter can accomodate many common camcorders and digital cameras, allowing you to adapt your personal camera equipment to the microscope.

SLR X-mount adapter for SLR camerasThe adaption of an SLR camera to the microscope system allows professional documentation of your work in high-resolution images.

GLOBAL continuing education

These days many continuing education classes are equipped with dental microscopes. And almost all endodontic curricula use microscopes as a standard. We are fully aware of this development and regularly support continuing education classes and conventions throughout Europe with our GLOBAL dental table top microscopes. You just might be sitting in front of a GLOBAL dental microscope during your next course – take a look!

Surgery Training

An initial training is a necessary requirement to learn how touse the dental microscope. The buying of a GLOBAL dental microscope should always be accompanied by an introduction course at one of our reference surgeries. Here you’ll getuser-to-user instruction in basic knowledge and skills. Ofcourse you may also book such a training session for a feewhen you are already a practiced microscope user.Please check our current session schedule at www.sigmadental.de

In good company!

The European Society of Microscope Dentistry (ESMD) is dedicated to dental microscopy in all of its varieties and options. Even during the founding convention in 2008, internationally well reputed experts conducted famous presentations and practical demons-trations, inspiring dentists from around the world. This convention will be held every two years at different venues. We will gladly answer any questions you might have on membership, fees and convention schedules.
