title: Accessory light for the surgical microscope.
abstract: This report describes a new accessory fiberoptic light for the most widely used surgical microscope. The advantages of this light are that it permits easy sterile draping of the microscope, does not require a special lens cover, can be adjusted to vary the size and location of the field of illumination, and produces minimal interference with the passage of microinstruments into the operative exposure.
