title: An inexpensive operating microscope.
abstract: A fiberoptic colposcope was converted through minor alterations into an instrument suitable for use in gynecologic microsurgery. Magnification up to 24x may be obtained, and the extreme mobility, price consideration, and reduction in space at the operating table make it an attractive alternative to a bulky, expensive operating microscope.
