The best training takes place with the patient. But how is a trainee supposed to learn if they cannot see what the experienced colleague sees? A dental microscope with a co-observation facility elegantly solves this problem. The learner looks through their own view and sees exactly the same as the instructor: at the same magnification, in real-time, three-dimensional. Explanations become concrete, learning becomes efficient.
Stereoscopic Co-Observation
The binocular assistant tube allows the co-viewer to see in three dimensions. The spatial understanding of the treatment situation is far superior to monocular solutions or video transmission.
Simultaneous Magnification
Main practitioner and co-viewer see the treatment field at the same magnification. Explanations like "Can you see the discolouration at the top left?" become immediately comprehensible.
HD Video Transmission
For larger groups, the video system transmits the treatment image onto monitors. Training events and live demonstrations become an interactive experience.
Recording and Analysis
Recording treatments allows for later analysis and review. Systematic learning from one's own practice becomes possible.
Retrofitting
Co-observer installations and camera systems can also be adapted to existing microscopes at a later stage. The investment remains future-proof.
All Kaps Dental Microscopes with Co-observer Option
In principle, all Karl Kaps dental microscopes can be equipped with co-observer facilities. The choice of the basic microscope depends on the clinical application area.
Co-Observer Options:
Single-sided beam splitter with binocular rotation plate
Ergonomic operation even when changing working positions. Noticeable relief for neck and back.
Beam Splitter 50:50
Even distribution of light between main operator and co-observer. Ideal for training situations where both need to see equally well.
Beam Splitter 80:20
More light for the main operator. Useful in light-intensive treatments, when the co-observer still needs to see adequately.
