4.9.3 Microscope Binocular Tube
As a standard, the operating microscope is equipped with a 10° to 50° binocular tube (1).
Each ocular (2) provides a diopter setting of +5 to -5 D, which can be adapted to the ametropia of
the user. For better observation, spectacle wearers should push in the setting rings (3).
The pupillary distance (PD) can be set via a spindle (4) from 55 to 70 mm. Adjust the PD such that
the image is observed by both eyes.

4.10 Particle Aspiration System
4.10.1 Description
The Particle Aspiration System is used to remove
particles and emerging plumes from the surgical plane
during the surgery. The system consists of two tubes
which create a laminar air flow above the surgical plane
and, therefore, remove the plumes.
The position of the system can be controlled with the
respective button on the control panel of the excimer
laser (refer to Figure 6-9: Control panel of the excimer
laser).
The system is brought into position directly before the
laser ablation and is retracted after the laser ablation is finished.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The nozzle of Partical Aspiration Sytem has been used as standard nozzle (double-
channel) until June 2017 in all AMARIS types (AMARIS 500E/750S/1050RS).
Since July 2017 it will be used in AMARIS 500E only!
