The reliable all-rounder for eye surgery
Sometimes no extras are needed, just precision you can rely on. The SOM© 62 Ophthal Basic delivers exactly that: a compact surgical microscope that impresses in everyday operating theatre use. Small enough for any room, yet powerful enough for demanding procedures.
The Basic is designed for ophthalmic surgeons who are looking for a solid work tool without unnecessary burdens. The apochromatic optics provide high-contrast, true-to-life images, in a design that works even in tight operating rooms.
The 5-step magnification changer allows for quick adjustments between detailed views and overview fields. Without compromising spatial vision. Without delay.
The SOM© 62 Ophthal Basic is particularly suitable for practices and smaller clinics that need a reliable surgical microscope for general eye surgery. Those seeking a solid introduction to the Kaps product family, without compromising on optical quality, will find the right instrument here.
And should requirements change later on? The modular system from Kaps allows for equipment expansion at any time.

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.
Compactly built, flexibly applicable
Not every operating room offers unlimited space. The Basic is designed for this exact reality: maximum performance on a minimal footprint.
Space-saving design
The compact construction allows for a short working distance between the surgeon and the operating field. Less distance means more control, less fatigue, and more precise movements. Even in cramped conditions, there remains enough room for the operating team.
Mobile floor stand
Quick repositioning during an operation? No problem. Moving to another operating room? Just as straightforward. The stand can be moved with minimal effort, without compromising stability during the procedure.
Minimal effort required
All microscope movements are carried out smoothly. The mechanics work precisely but are never stiff. This relieves strain over a long day in the operating theatre and keeps the focus where it belongs: on the patient.

Optics and Lighting: The Foundation
A surgical microscope stands or falls with its optical quality. We haven't compromised on this aspect for the Basic model— it incorporates the same precision as the larger models in the series.
Apochromatically Corrected Magnification Changer
The 5-position changer delivers high-contrast, true-to-life images at all magnification levels. Colour fringes? None whatsoever. The apochromatic correction ensures that tissue structures appear as they truly are—without optical distortions.
Coaxial Cold Light Fibre Optic Lighting
The 15V/150W lighting is specifically tailored for ophthalmological applications. Combined with the optics, it produces a bright red reflex that makes every layer of the retina visible. A ready-to-use spare lamp is integrated—ensuring no failures during critical procedures.
Integrated Eye Protection
The swing-in retina protection filter GG 475 shields the patient's eye from excessive light exposure. Additional filters against IR and UV radiation are permanently installed. Safety that doesn't need to be manually activated.

Brilliant Optics for Clear Decisions
The apochromatically corrected optics eliminate colour fringes and deliver true-to-life colours. With delicate eye operations, every detail matters, and this system makes them visible.
Compact and Mobile
Due to its space-saving design, the Basic fits into nearly every operating room. The mobile floor stand can be easily repositioned during surgery or when moving between rooms.
Integrated Eye Protection
The coaxial cold light fibre optic illumination (15V/150W) comes with a built-in UV filter and retractable retina protection filter GG 475. The bright red reflex exposes each layer of the retina without endangering the patient's eye.
Intuitive Operation
The motorised fine focusing (40 mm) is controlled via a foot switch. Focus speed and light intensity can be adjusted in seconds using the dials, keeping hands free for what's essential.
