Modular Upgradeability
Modular Upgradeability
The Kaps 1100 provides a versatile foundation for dental microscopy. It combines the proven apochromatic Kaps optics with an intelligent balancing system to ensure precise positioning under all conditions. Thanks to the modular construction kit, the microscope can be individually configured and adapted to increasing requirements at any time.
The balancing allows effortless movement of the microscope head to any desired position. Asymmetrical load distributions are effectively compensated, preserving ergonomics even when accessories are mounted. The system provides the ideal entry into microscopy for quality-conscious general practices and specialised endodontic focuses.
Thanks to its robust construction, your investment is protected in the long term. The Kaps 1100 dental microscope can be upgraded to a Kaps 1400 later. The various mounting options on the wall, ceiling, or floor make the system the optimal solution for practices with limited space.

80 Years with an Eye for Detail
The exceptional precision and attention to detail characterise every project from Kaps Optik, a quality appreciated by clients and partners worldwide.
Over 75 years of accumulated expertise is incorporated into every bespoke solution, whether for local or international projects.
Balanced Precision
Automatic Load Balancing
The balancing mechanism automatically adjusts for the weight of the microscope head and all attached components. Whether you mount a heavy photo adapter, a beam splitter, or the vario lens, the system remains perfectly balanced. You can position the microscope with minimal effort.
Stable Position Holding
Once positioned, the microscope stays exactly where you set it down. No slipping, no drifting. Even during lengthy treatments, there is no need for readjustment. The mechanical brakes hold securely without requiring any exertion.
Smooth Movement
Despite stable locking, the microscope moves smoothly. The precise bearings and balancing ensure an even, light movement across all axes. You can position the microscope intuitively and without fatigue – even after hundreds of treatments.
Precise Fine Adjustment
The 12mm fine focusing allows for precise focus adjustments at different tissue levels. During root canal treatments, you can easily focus between coronal and apical levels. The sensitive mechanics provide direct tactile feedback.

Optical Excellence
Apochromatic Optics
The multi-coated lenses correct chromatic aberrations across the entire spectrum. You view tissue structures in their natural colour without distortion. In caries diagnosis or crack identification, you can discern the finest colour differences that can influence the treatment decision.
5x Magnification Changer
Five precisely coordinated magnification levels cover all requirements. From an overview during preparation work to maximum magnification for endodontics, you can switch quickly and reproducibly. Each magnification level is optically corrected and provides brilliant images.
0-210° Swivel Tubus
The binocular swivel tubus always guarantees an upright, ergonomically correct working position. No matter how the patient is positioned, and no matter how long the treatment lasts, your posture remains relaxed. Neck and back discomfort are effectively prevented.

Integrated LED Lighting
Constant Daylight Quality
The integrated LED lighting with approximately 5,500 Kelvin matches natural daylight. Colour temperatures remain consistent throughout its entire lifespan. No colour shifts like those experienced with ageing halogen lamps. The uniform illumination prevents disruptive shadows even in deep cavities.
Dimmable Intensity
Adjust the light intensity to suit different treatment situations. Reduce brightness during composite work to prevent premature polymerisation. Increase intensity when searching for root canals for optimal illumination. The seamless adjustment is made using the comfort handle.
50,000 Hours Lifespan
LED technology is virtually maintenance-free. Over 50,000 hours of operation equate to more than ten years of intensive use without changing lamps. The low heat generation is gentle on both patient and practitioner. The silent operation does not disturb concentration.
