Zeiss OPMI CS NC-2 Microscope

The Zeiss OPMI CS NC-2 is widely regarded as one of the most balanced and stable surgical microscope packages ever assembled by the Zeiss design team. Specifically engineered for spinal and neurological applications, this system features the legendary Contraves floor stand, which provides maximum horizontal reach and effortless, free-floating maneuverability. With its integrated face-to-face optics and dual independent zoom and focus systems, the NC-2 is an ideal solution for complex spine procedures and start-up outpatient neurosurgical suites.

Key Features and Benefits

• Maximum Reach and Stability: Mounted on the Contraves floor stand, the system offers an impressive 69-inch horizontal reach and free-floating movement that can be easily locked into place.
