Optical Excellence for Precise Diagnoses

The SOM has been developed for a single purpose: to create the best possible visual foundation for gynaecological diagnoses. Every detail of the optics is dedicated to this aim.

Apochromatic Optics

The zoom versions are equipped with apochromatic optics. Chromatic aberration is eliminated, and details appear sharp and natural. The result: brilliant, three-dimensional images throughout the entire magnification range.

High Depth of Field

From the 5x magnification changer, a diaphragm to increase depth of field is optionally available. More structures remain in focus simultaneously – a crucial advantage when assessing tissue changes.

Parallel Beam Path

The optical beam path and illumination are coaxial. The field of view is evenly illuminated, and shadows are minimised.

Green Filter for Vascular Imaging

The swing-in green filter enhances contrast in the assessment of vascular structures. Atypical vascular patterns become more visible.

Ergonomics for Fatigue-Free Operation

Gynaecological examinations require concentration over long periods. The SOM is designed to minimise strain on the examiner.

Ergonomically Positioned Adjustment Knobs

Height, sharpness, tilt angle – all adjustments can be made precisely without leaving the examination position.

Swivel and Suspension Arm (SOM 42)

The combination enables effortless positioning with minimal exertion. The colposcope virtually floats into the desired position.

Easy Exchange

Eyepieces and objectives can be exchanged without tools. Switching to different magnifications or working distances takes seconds.

Durable Construction

The high-quality metal housing is designed for decades of use. No maintenance intervals, no susceptibility to service – the SOM operates reliably day in, day out.
