Zeiss OPMI Neuro NC-4 Microscope

The Zeiss OPMI Neuro NC-4 is one of the most successful and established neurosurgical systems ever developed by Zeiss. Designed as a complete package of optics, mechanics, and electronics, it served as the industry standard for years and remains the immediate predecessor to the renowned OPMI Pentero. As the first Zeiss microscope to support neuro-navigational systems, the NC-4 offers many of the advanced features found in newer models—including an integrated video system, AutoFocus, and a Heads-Up Display—while providing the best cost-to-features value for modern neurological suites.

Key Features and Benefits

• Legendary Apochromatic Optics: Features apochromatic coatings across the entire optical system, ensuring outstanding color fidelity, razor-sharp detail, and distortion-free images for improved surgical workflow.
• Integrated AutoFocus & Varioskop: Equipped with unique AutoFocus technology and a Varioskop objective lens, allowing for motorized focal distance adjustments between 195mm and 420mm to produce perfect images quickly.
• Advanced Navigation Integration: Engineered for seamless compatibility with major image-guided platforms, including BrainLAB, Medtronic SNT, Radionics, and more.
• Superior Illumination: Powered by the Superlux 301 high-intensity light source, featuring a 300W Xenon lamp for daylight-quality brightness and an integrated 100W Halogen backup system.
• Ergonomic Handgrip Controls: User-friendly handgrips allow the clinician to control major functions without an assistant. Handgrips can be rotated 180 degrees and are positioned to allow for easy instrument passage.
• Flexible Viewing Configurations: Includes a face-to-face bridge and two 0-180 degree inclinable binoculars that can be easily rotated for cross-table procedures.
